Welcome to the Pokerstars.Net EPT Berlin!

Welcome back to beautiful Berlin, Germany's glorious capital for its second time on the European Poker Tour. Last year this event debuted with 945 runners, with Kevin MacPhee the eventual winner ahead of Finn Ilari Tahkokallio.

We've moved across from the Hyatt Hotel to the SpielBank Casino itself next door, situated comfortably on the first floor and we're once again expecting a packed field including many Team PokerStars Pros including Henrique Pinho and Michael Keiner while we are expecting German tennis legend and Team PokerStars SportStar Boris Becker to also be playing either today or tomorrow.

Play will be underway in around half an hour and all tables will be nine-handed for today, we will be playing nine levels.
