European Poker Tour Returns as PokerStars Completes Sochi Event

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic still lingering, PokerStars was able to get its biggest live poker brand back on track, successfully running European Poker Tour Sochi in early October.

To date, it's the only EPT event to run this year. Of most import was the postponement of the PokerStars Players Championship, which was supposed to take place at EPT Barcelona.
