European Poker Series Heading To Prague

Czech capital will host the European Masters of Poker event later this month.

The third leg of the European Masters of Poker series is set to take place in the Czech capital later this month.

Qualification for the Prague tournament, which takes place between June 25th and 28th with a buy-in of €1,100 (£951), is now underway at a number of online poker portals.

Providing the tournament attracts the expected number of participants, a prize pool of about €300,000 should be on offer at Prague's Spearmint Casino, with an estimated first prize of €25,000.

The event follows this year's European Masters of Poker tournaments in Estonia and Bulgaria, with Tallinn hosting the first event in February and the second stop taking place at the Black Sea resort of Varna in April.

According to its organisers, the series of events is "designed to appeal to players who want to play big live tournaments with affordable buy-ins [and] exiting locations".

After the Prague event, the tour heads to Barcelona in July before the final event gets underway Vittoriosa, Malta on September 23rd.
