The calendar this year is full of events designed for all skill levels of poker aficiones. Starting with the Eureka Poker Tour and comprising the Eureka Main Event, Eureka Cup, and Eureka High Roller, the series will run from October 9 to 14, these competitions will prepare the ground for the more major European Poker Tour events.
