Title: EPT Tallinn thread Post by: TightEnd on August 02, 2011, 11:03:14 AM The European Poker Tour will once again be launching its new season in the stunning city of Tallinn in Estonia. This is the EPT's second visit to the Baltic States after a debut event in Season 7 which attracted more than 400 players.
Located in the luxurious Swissotel in the heart of the city, EPT Tallinn is yet again set to draw top players from across the Baltic and Nordic regions, as well as the rest of Europe and beyond. The city is famed for its beautiful medieval architecture and buzzing nightlife and has already proved itself a very welcome addition to the tour. Last season, Norwegian Kevin Stani took the title and €400,000 prize after winning his seat on PokerStars. Among those invited to compete in Estonia are the Season 7 EPT Award winners. They receive a full prize package to Tallinn along with their EPT Award trophy. The event runs August 2-7, 2011. Main Event Day 1A €4,000 + €250 is today News on here Title: Re: EPT Tallinn thread Post by: TightEnd on August 03, 2011, 10:14:55 AM EPT Tallinn: End day 1A chip counts

Skrill, the new name for Moneybookers – one of Europe’s largest online payments systems and among the world’s largest independent digital wallet providers – has joined the likes of playing cards manufacturer Copag and luxury jeweller Shamballa Jewels, in partnering with GPTL’s poker tours in 2011. Recognising the important brand building and marketing opportunities this sponsorship deal affords, Nikolai Riesenkampff, co-CEO of Skrill Holdings, operating Moneybookers, said: “Skrill is delighted to join the European Poker Tour as its Official Payment Provider Sponsor. Now in its eighth season, the EPT has grown to become one of the largest and most lucrative poker tours in the world. Our headline sponsorship promises to deal a winning hand when it comes to strengthening our position as the leading digital wallet and bankroll management option among the world’s poker players.” Riesenkampff added: “Skrill has a long and established track record providing easy, safe and secure payment options, and as a result is widely regarded as one of the most preferred deposit and withdrawal methods by the online gaming community.” Skrill and the EPT As part of Skrill’s sponsorship deal, the payment provider will have a strong visible presence at EPT events across Europe, with representatives talking to customers on the ground and helping players register for accounts by offering various incentives and loyalty programmes. GPTL managing director Jeffrey Haas expressed his excitement at the latest partnership. “The European Poker Tour operates in more countries and markets than any other tour in the world, and it’s wonderful that companies with global aspirations, like Skrill, recognise the opportunity we provide them to reach new customers in meaningful ways,” said Haas. This latest sponsorship deal for GPTL – producer of several prestigious poker events around the world, including the EPT, Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT) and Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) – highlights the significant and growing potential for more partnerships of its kind in the future. GPTL is committed to finding other business partners with local, regional or international brand aspirations.

Not surprised to hear you hail him as consistent ;) Lol. You will know when he is playing poker next because he will have another flag. He cashes in 85 % of the tourneys he plays :)Title: Re: EPT Tallinn thread Post by: TightEnd on August 08, 2011, 12:49:23 PM Season eight of the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) began in Tallinn, Estonia, and gave a title to yet another country as Ronny Kaiser became the first player from Switzerland to bring home a red spade EPT trophy – not to mention a cool €275,000 in cash for beating out a field of 282.
This represented a significant downturn on last year’s field of 420, which saw Danish pro Kevin Stani take down the top prize of €400,000. However, a healthy turnout still meant a seven-figure prize pool and Kaiser certainly won’t be complaining about the €275,000 boost to his bankroll. The Swiss high-stakes Omaha player had no trouble adjusting to the two-card game and beat Gregorz Cichocki heads-up to secure the title. In the final hand he called a 3-bet shove holding A-9o and was ahead against 8d-6d, making top pair on the flop and locking it up on the turn before adding a flourish to the victory by making two pair on the river. Other notable finalists included British pro Stuart Fox, who wound up finishing in sixth place at the hands of 2008 EPT London High Roller runner-up Jani Sointula. Beforehand, PokerStars SCOOP 2011 Champion Sami “LarsLuzak” Kelopuro had busted in seventh place with a failed bluff into a straight. In total, the final table saw players representing six countries with Finland having a dominating grip on the final eight – Sointula, Kelopuro and Arvi Vainionkulma all hailed from the Scandinavian nation. The full final table places and payouts were as follows: 1. Ronny Kaiser €275,000 2. Gregorz Cichocki €180,000 3. Raigo Aasmaa €110,000 4. Jani Sointula €80,000 5. Stuart Fox €55,000 6. Erland Melsom €45,000 7. Sami Kelopuro €35,000 8. Arvi Vainionkulma €25,000 |
