THE POKERSTARS.COM EPT LONDON POKER FESTIVAL

LONDON, UK, AUGUST 13, 2009 — The PokerStars.com European Poker Tour (EPT) London Poker
Festival will run from September 30 – October 7, 2009 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel. The event will be
the biggest PokerStars EPT Poker Festival to date with 16 separate events scheduled, including; the
return of the popular three-day EPT London £20k High Roller, the first-ever £2k European 8-Game
Championship, and numerous lower buy-in events, including a £500 8-Game event, a £1k Pot Limit
Omaha High-Low event, a £1k No Limit 6-Max event and a £2k PLO event. This will follow two weeks of
preliminary events throughout London; including the European Poker Championships at the Grosvenor
Victoria Casino, the PokerStars.com London EPT £5k Main Event will once again cement London as the
poker capital of Europe this autumn.
John Duthie, EPT Chief Executive said “The PokerStars.com EPT London Poker Festival will have a rich
mix of games and buy-ins to cater to the most players possible in a compelling schedule – by poker
players, for poker players. This continues on the fundamental programming shift made for last season’s
EPT Grand Final where we tried to create the best opportunity for all our players, not just higher-rollers,
to play a wide mix of poker games and formats at a variety of accessible buy-ins.”
The PokerStars.com EPT London Poker Festival is being run in conjunction with the Grosvenor Victoria
Casino. This year’s event has been moved up the street to the London Hilton Metropole Hotel, which is
located 300 metres from the Grosvenor Victoria Casino, in order to accommodate the increasing amount
of players expected. Last year almost 600 players competed in the PokerStars EPT London Main Event,
with first-place winner Michael Martin of the USA taking home a £1 million prize. This year the new
venue will accommodate more than 800 players, have an estimated overall prize pool of £4 million and
players from across the UK and around the world are invited to compete for it on the felts of London.
There will be 28 cash tables running throughout the festival at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino and one
table tournament and single table satellites running daily at the Hilton Metropole. For all PokerStars.com
EPT London Poker Festival events, players can buy-in directly from the PokerStars client and also
receive pay-outs into their PokerStars accounts.
Online satellites for the PokerStars EPT London Poker Festival are running now on PokerStars, with
buy-ins from as little as $2.22 or 111 FPPs. Players who qualify on PokerStars don’t just win their seat;
they also win hotel accommodation (or cash equivalent) and spending money as part of their prize
package.

POKERSTARS CELEBRATES THE EPT DEBUT IN UKRAINE – WIN YOUR SEAT TO KYIV TODAY

ISLE OF MAN, UK, AUGUST 4, 2009 —Ukraine is gearing up to be the poker centre of Eastern Europe with
an exciting schedule of events planned for the debut PokerStars.net EPT Kyiv Sports Poker Championship
later this month and PokerStars, the world’s largest online poker site, is running a series of enticing satellite
tournaments to help players get there.
The PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) is kicking off Season 6 with a €5,000 event in the beautiful
Ukraine capital from August 18-23. It’s the first time that the EPT has been to Kyiv and PokerStars is
celebrating with a unique schedule of daily satellites giving players the chance to win their trip – a prize
package worth $9,700.
In addition to the daily $215 one-package guarantee events, PokerStars is holding a special five-package
guarantee tourney on Saturday, August 8, and a 10,000 Frequent Player Point event on Sunday, August 9 –
giving players the chance to go to the Ukraine for free.
PokerStars VIP players – Silver Star status and above – will be able to take advantage of daily 2,500 FPP
qualifier events with additional nine-package guarantee tournaments taking place today (August 4).
The EPT Kyiv Sports Poker Championship is taking place at the Kyiv Sports Palace and is expected to be the
largest poker tournament ever held in the Ukraine. There’ll be plenty of poker at the Kyiv Sports Palace, thanks
to an exciting schedule (www.europeanpokertour.com/tournaments/kyiv) that includes €1,100, €2,250 and
€3,200 NLHE events, a €330 ladies’ event, a €2,150 Pot Limit Omaha event as well as satellites to the main
event and a super-satellite to EPT London.
The Kyiv event replaces the previously-scheduled 2009 Russian Open poker tournament which had to be
cancelled following changes in Russian gaming legislation.ıAll PokerStars qualifiers have been invited to
switch to Kyiv instead of Moscow but may, if they wish, take a credit for a future event instead or receive the
cash equivalent value.
Among the stars taking part in Kyiv are PokerStars Team Pros Luca Pagano, Dario Minieri and Katja Thater as
well as Ivan Demidov and Alex Kravchenko from Russia and Team PokerStars Ukraine Pro Vlad Zhuba.
