ABOUT EPT PRAGUE 2023
December’s festivities make it the most wonderful time of the year, but the weeks leading up to the holidays are pretty great too. And there’s nowhere that poker players from around the world would rather spend their time than in Prague for the European Poker Tour (EPT).
It might be chilly outside, but EPT Prague 2023 has plenty of poker action to heat things up inside the Hilton Prague at the King’s Casino. The festival begins with the EUREKA Poker Tour – always massive for a €1,100 buy-in – before moving up in stakes to the EPT line-up.
Plus, when you’re not at the tables, you get to wrap up warm and explore one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. From the market stalls and Christmas trees at the Old Town Square to the bustling Charles Bridge, the stunning Prague Castle to your pick of incredible (and affordable) restaurants, Prague is one of those places you’ll want to return to again and again.
Poker players certainly do, and that’s why the EPT comes back here year after year, always bigger and better.

EVENT AND TRAVEL GUIDE
Prague is a popular stop on the EPT circuit, with hectic tournament action and a wide variety of cash games, complemented by a beautiful city packed with bars and restaurants that never break the bank.
Here is the complete guide to the event including a look back at some landmark moments, and everything you need to know at or away from the tables.
NO MORE PRAGUE SQUEAK!
Anyone who had ever played at EPT Prague prior to last year would have endured the dreaded Prague squeak. The chairs used to grind against the tournament floor, producing a grating screech, like nails on a chalkboard.
But not anymore! In 2022, that issue was taken care of with help from Steve O’Dwyer, who was on a crusade to end it.
And end it he did.
