The Pokerstars European Poker Tour is a series of poker tournaments similar to those in the World Poker Tour, created by John Duthie, winner of the inaugural Poker Million tournament.

Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players, as opposed to the 6 player final tables popularised by the WPT.
For the first couple of seasons, Duthie commentated for the show alongside Colin Murray. Since the middle of Season 3, James Ha
