The event will run from Septemeber 29 to October 6 and will feature a £5,250 Main Event that starts September 30th. Players will have 30,000 chip starting stacks with 60 minute levels on Day 1 and 75 minute levels for the remained of the tournament. Reigning EPT London Main Event Champion David Vamplew will seek to retain his title, for which he bested a field of 848 players and took home £900,000 after beating John Juanda.
Also scheduled is the 8-Game European Championship (£2,150,) a £5,250 Heads-up event, a Women’s Event with a £550 buy-in, and a £20,500 High Roller Event. Last year, Jose “Nacho” Barbero took down the High Roller event, taking home a score of £556,000.
