![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
As we wave bye, bye to a very enjoyable and successful World Series of Poker (WSOP) we welcome, with open arms, Season Eight of the European Poker Tour (EPT). Our first stop is the magnificent Swissotel, located in the heart of Estonia's capital - Tallinn.
The plan is to play nine sixty minute levels today with a 75-minute dinner break to be taken after level six. There are some minor tweaks to the structure this year with antes being introduced earlier (level 4), an extra 250/500 level included as level seven and a change in level nine with the ante jumping to 100 instead of the usual 75.
Over the next two days we are expecting to see defending champion Kevin Stani, EPT Qualifier of the Year (season 7) Martin Jacobson, recent WSOP bracelet winner Joe Ebanks and Team PokerStars Pros J P Kelly, Arnaud Mattern, Sebastian Ruthenberg, Marcin Horecki, Luca Pagano, Dario Minieri, Ville Wahlbeck and Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira De Melo.
