Obwohl von 4. bis 13. Oktober die PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) in Sochi zu den EPT Open gastiert, liegt der Fokus der Pokerspieler doch auf dem letzten Stopp in diesem Jahr. Von 6. bis 17. Dezember gastiert die EPT wieder im Hilton Prague und bringt 46 Events mit.
Seit 2007 gastiert die EPT in Prag und ist neben Barcelona der Lieblingsspot für die Spieler. Das mag am vorweihnachtlichen Prag liegen, an den stets hohen Teilnehmerzahlen oder auch daran, dass die deutschsprachigen Spieler einige Erfolge vorzuweisen haben. Vier Mal ging der Siegerpokal nach Deutschland:
| Jahr | Sieger | Entries | Preisgeld |
| 2011 | Martin Finger | 772 | 964.023 € |
| 2013 | Julian Track | 1.007 | 994.463 € |
| 2015 | Hossein Ensan | 1.044 | 825.151 € |
| 2018 | Paul Michaelis | 1.174 | 953.646 € |
Bei den 46 Events gibt es wenig Überraschungen, überwiegend setzt PokerStars auf Altbewährtes. Das € 1.100 EPT National Event läuft von 7. bis 11. Dezember, das € 5.300 EPT Main Event von 11. bis 17. Dezember. Die High Roller kommen wieder voll auf ihre Kosten, denn fast täglich gibt es ein € 10k+ Turnier. Das teuerste Turnier ist natürlich wieder das € 50.000 Super High Roller, bei dem Matthias Eibinger Titelverteidiger ist. Neu im Programm ist das € 25.000 Short Deck 6+.
Neben zahlreichen No Limit Hold’em Events gibt es auch ein wenig Pot Limit Omaha und ein HORSE. Für die Spieler mit kleineren Bankrolls sorgt man mit Events wie dem € 330 EPT Cup oder dem € 330 Weekend Deep Stack, sowie zahlreichen Satellites mit verschiedenen Buy-Ins.
Die Cash Games während der EPT Prag laufen fast nonstop, 21 Stunden täglich. Gespielt wird dabei in CZK und starten bei 50/50 CZK (rund € 2/2). Angeboten werden nicht nur NLH und PLO, sondern auch Stud, Draw und Hi-Low Varianten auf Nachfrage. Auch OFC kann gespielt werden.
Wie immer bietet PokerStars viele Online-Satellites an. Auch die Hotelbuchungen auf PokerStars Travel sind schon möglich.
