After that, it’s time to move the EPT to Cyprus, another new stop on the tour. The new Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa will host the series on October 11-22, although another venue would welcome it. The City of Dreams Mediterranean should be open by then, and staging the EPT there would have been a coup for Melco Resorts and Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\n
The Merit already has experience holding poker tournaments. It hosted the Triton Poker Coin Rivet Invitational in September, where PokerStars ambassador Sam Grafton pocketed $5.5 million for taking down the event. That was his biggest win to date and pushed the UK poker pro above $12.68 million in lifetime cash winnings, according to Hendon Mob.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The last stop for the 2023 EPT will be at King’s Casino in Prague, Czech Republic, which will host the event from December 6-17. King’s Casino is another regular stop for the EPT and is getting ready to kick off this year’s last stop on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
