EPT Berlin 2012 Kicks Off (Video)

The EPT Berlin 2012 tournament has gotten underway with an expanded space for play.

Among those in attendance early on included noted pros Barney Boatman, Scott Seiver, Barry Greenstein and Vanessa Selbst.  German player Jan Heitmann and Quebec's Will Molsen were also taking part early on.

Last year’s EPT Berlin was much more subdued with Ben Wilinofsky taking home the €825,000 after beating a 773-strong field.  The prize this year is expected to flirt with the one million mark.

1300 players can now participate as a result of an extension of the tournament area at the Grand Hyatt.
Steffen Stumpf, Director of the Spielbank Berlin said: “With the changes we combine the best of both worlds. More tournaments, more starting places and a clearly more convenient game situation for all participants. Last year we had some unfortunate bottlenecks at our tables. However, we also guarantee the highest safety standards, given that the entire cash flow will solely take place here at the Spielbank Berlin as last year."
02:34 -- 02:41 Jan Heitmann wird bei der EPT Berlin dabei sein und würde sich auf Euren Besuch freuen!
