EPT Paris 2025 Shatters French Poker Attendance Records
In February 2025, the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) returned to Le Palais des Congrès in Paris, and the turnout was nothing short of spectacular. Building on the massive success of its previous visits, the festival cemented Paris as one of the premier poker destinations in Europe.
Massive Fields in the French Capital
The €5,300 Main Event saw thousands of entries, eclipsing the previous year's numbers. The local French poker community came out in droves, mixed with online qualifiers and high-stakes regulars who traveled globally for the event.
As highlighted by Poker.org, the festival's €1,100 FPS (France Poker Series) Main Event also broke local records, proving that live poker in Europe is healthier than ever across all buy-in levels. The massive prize pools generated incredible excitement on r/poker, with fans following their favorite streamers and pros as they navigated the massive fields.
Replicating the Grandeur
The EPT is known for its incredible production value, using customized, premium card decks similar to high-end Bicycle Cards. But the true magic of a massive tournament is the flawless execution of the dealing.
