As well as the headline events in Deauville and Paradise Island, organisers have chucked in tournaments in Madrid, Berlin and Campione. ‘We’re delighted that the EPT will be returning to two major capital cities in Europe, both of which have proved to be highly popular locations in recent years,’ said EPT President Edgar Stuchly. ‘We’re also very excited that the tour is for the first time heading to the highly exclusive region of Campione in Italy, further extending the reach of the EPT.’ EPT Madrid will be first up, the capital city returning for a second successive year after a fantastic finale at the end of Season 7. The Casino Gran Madrid Torrelodones will play host from March 12-17. That’s quickly follows by the EPT’s debut in Campione, a tiny area nestled on the shore of Lake Lugano. This highly desirable destination has been a regular stop on the PokerStars.it Italian Poker Tour in recent years, and the action will be located in the Casino Municipale di Campione d'Italia from March 26-31.
