Limits: 5,000/10,000

PokerStars and Club Barrière have announced the cancellation of the European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris 2025, which was originally scheduled to run from February 12-23 at Le Palais des Congrès.

The cancellation is part of a broader uncertainty surrounding Paris’s gaming landscape. Recent developments indicate that gaming clubs in the city, which have operated under strict regulations since 2019, are at risk of closure by the end of the year.

The announcement comes as a shock, particularly after the news comes exactly a month since the unveiling of the 2025 EPT schedule.

EPT Paris was slated to kick off the tour's new season, returning for its third year after record-breaking attendance in 2024.
