Get Ready for the PokerStars EPT Online; $20m GTD Festival Starts Next Month!

Ever since PokerStars cancelled several European live events back in March, players have been waiting patiently for the announcement of a major online poker festival to take their place.

And after the recent success stories of SCOOP, the Stadium Series and WCOOP, PokerStars has now unveiled the EPT Online.

The festival runs from November 9th until November 18th and comes with a $20 million guarantee across 20 events. It is split into the EPT Online – where buy-ins range from $215 to $25,000 – and the Mini EPT Online – with buy-ins from as little as $2.20.

Play in the $5,200 EPT Online Main Event

The 2020 EPT Online Main Event takes place on November 15th. It is a four-day event with a single starting flight that gets underway at 18:05 (GMT). Players are allowed up to two re-entries during the late registration period, which runs until five minutes before the start of Day 2.

Day Date Time Structure
Day 1 November 15th 18:05 End of Level 15
Day 2 November 16th 18:10 When 72 players are remaining
Day 3 November 17th 18:05 When 9 players are remaining
