A large influx of players expected at the poker tournament in London

Upcoming tournament in the capital UK is expected to be the highlight European Poker Tour.

According to experts, many will come to London to play poker.

Alan Bowden, editor of InsidePoker magazine, confirmed that the London leg has always attracted large numbers of players. "This tournament has the potential to be the highlight of the European Poker Tour"- he declared.

Talking about the reasons for this expectation, he explained that tournaments with guaranteed prize pools in seven figures always attract additional attention. He also added: "The WSOPE has just finished in London. This means that a lot of star pros are already in town.".

This month, the European Poker Tour kicked off in Barcelona and will head to London on October 1, where a minimum of £ 1,000,000 (€ 5,400 buy-ins) will be raffled before October 5.

Last season on stage EPT London Victoria Casino gathered about 400 participants who were vying for a piece of the massive prize pool of 2 million pounds. Then Joseph Mouawad, after 5 days of fierce struggle, managed to defeat Florian Langmann from Germany and win the honorary title along with the first prize of 611,000 pounds sterling.
