Two tales with a partypoker connection as the partypoker sponsored Eurasian Poker Tour comes to a close in Prague, and party’s partner, Fedor Holz, invests in esports giant Team Envy.

Prague and poker at Christmas go together like spume and sputum after a night playing with Absinthe. It’s only a matter of time before partypoker’s MILLIONS brand lays down a peg or two, but until then, we have the partypoker Eurasian Poker Tour (EAPT) Prague.

The Grandior Hotel Prague sounds like the sort of gaff that has a stiff upper lip type of guy playing the works of Chopin on the ivories, but last week it was the home to some of poker’s pot-bellied pigs.

The €1,100 buy-in EAPT Prague Main Event hit the €500k Guarantee after 825 entrants created a €783,750 prize pool. The talented Belgian Jerome Sgorrano hit all the right notes to bank the first prize of €126,500.
