The EPT Champions Most Likely to Win a Second Title at EPT Online

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
EPT Champions
EPT Champions

For the first time ever, poker players around the world will be able to compete in a prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event from the comfort of their homes.

Yep. EPT Online runs from Nov. 8-18 at PokerStars, with 20 events of varying buy-ins ranging from $215-$25,000 (just like a regular EPT schedule), and $20 million guaranteed in prizes.

For years, many of us have watched the EPT Live streams from our desks or armchairs and dreamed of one day being able to compete, and maybe, just maybe, win a title.

All of the players in this article have already done it. They’re EPT champions, but only Victoria Coren-Mitchell and Mikalai Pobal have ever won two EPT Main Events.

With the $5,200 EPT Online 8-Max, No Limit Hold’em Main Event kicking off on 15 November, we wondered: which former EPT Main Event winners are most likely to claim another title this time around?

There are more likely candidates than you’d imagine.
