Success of European Poker Tour (EPT) has apparently grown each year it as been running.
The EPT is the world's premier poker tour, according to InsidePoker magazine editor Alan Bowden.Every season the Tour has been more successful than the last and it has now reached the point where it can be spoken about in this esteemed manner, he added.
His comments come on the day season five of the poker tour begins in Barcelona. The competition lasts until September 14th.

Last year's event was made up of 5,902 players and had a total prize pool was €38.2 million (£31.1 million). This was almost 2,500 players more and around double the money on the previous year.
And Mr Bowden has high hopes about this week's poker tournament, believing more records can be broken.
"Certainly we are expecting even bigger attendances than last year, even more prize money, even more press attention and even more millionaires coming out of it," he claimed.
