A Welcome Message from the EPT President

At each EPT stop there is a handy program with all the details of the stop. Also in that packet is a welcome message from EPT President Edgar Stuchly, which we thought we'd share with you here:
Welcome to the EPT Sanremo Poker Festival.
We're very excited to add Sanremo to a growing list of EPT stops which roll a national poker tour into a European Poker Tour event. The PokerStars Italian Poker Tour is one of the most popular national tours around and Luca Pagano's team have created a fascinating accumulator format that has been well received. The IPT Main Event allows you to play multiple Day 1's giving you the chance to build a monster Day 2 stack. And that €770 event is just one of 43 events during the twelve-day festival.
The EPT Sanremo Poker Festival leads directly into the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo Casino EPT Grand Final, which boasts a €10,600 Main Event, a €100,000 Super High Roller and of course the €1,100 France Poker Series Main Event. There are also plenty of events with price tags that measure in the hundreds, not thousands so do make the trip whatever your bankroll. There's a fifty-fifty fusion live satellite into the Monaco Main Event taking place April 19, or you can try to qualify online at EPT sponsors PokerStars for a fraction of the price.
I wish you success and a great time in Sanremo.
