The EuroPoker Circuit is a new European live poker tournament series that was held for the first time this year. The EPC is organized by the French poker promoter Texapoker and the online poker platform Winamax. The two organizers have now released the tournament schedule for the 2027 EuroPoker Circuit. In its second season, the circuit will feature eleven stops: eight in France, two in Italy, and one in Spain.
In 2026, the tournament schedule consisted of ten stops across four European countries: six in France, two in Spain, and one each in Italy and Portugal. The combination of affordable buy-ins, varied tournament formats, and well-known casino locations proved very popular. The Main Event in July at the EPC Pornic was the tour’s most successful tournament. With a buy-in of €250, 465 entries generated a prize pool of €93,744. Thierry Piveteau from New Caledonia won the tournament and received €16,000.
The new season kicks off January 13–17, 2027, in La Grande-Motte and concludes in late October (October 27–31) in Gujan-Mestras. Additional stops and surprises are already in the works for 2027. At the heart of every tournament is the King Main Event with a buy-in of €250. Players start with 50,000 chips. On Day 1, levels last 40 minutes; on Day 2 and in the final, they last 60 minutes.
A key component of the partnership is the integration of online and live poker. Winamax regularly hosts satellites for the EPC festivals. The online qualifying tournaments take place every Tuesday on Winamax Poker. The €20 satellite tournament begins at 9:15 p.m. and offers unlimited re-entries as well as a €250 live credit. This credit can be used in the €250 Main Event or in side events. For those on a tighter budget, there are €2 satellites on the same day at 7:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. More information is available on Texapoker and Winamax.fr. Online registration for the French stages is available via Partouche.com.
