The London leg of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour runs from 1-5 October and is set to be one of the largest poker tournaments ever played in the UK, and PokerStars are guaranteeing a £1million first prize - almost double that of last year’s event.

The PokerStars.com EPT is coming into its fifth season, with the London tournament forming an integral part of the tour. The London event, held in the notorious Victoria Casino, has the capacity to hold 500 players at the event – PokerStars are expecting to send over 150 online qualifiers.

PokerStars satellites start on 4 August, from as little as $2.22 cash or 111 FPP, or players can buy directly into the event for £5,400.
