While Season 12 of the European Poker Tour (EPT) and the great festival that PokerStars plans to bring to Barcelona highlights the August poker calendar, there are plenty of other tournaments to be played throughout Europe - especially if you are into events with buy-ins under €1,500.
Tournaments in Italy, Cyprus, and Austria offer the perfect chance to combine a summer holiday with a top poker event, and things are going to heat up soon in the U.K., with legs of the United Kingdom and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) and the massive GUKPT Goliath kicking off in August.
