The Eureka Poker Tour (EKA) started in March 2011, is a major regional poker tour in the central and eastern Europe. The tour is sponsored by PokerStars.com, like its counterparts, the European Poker Tour (2004), Asia Pacific Poker Tour (2007), Latin American Poker Tour (2008) and North American Poker Tour (2010). [1]
After a run across Central and Eastern Europe for Season 1, PokerStars.com launched the Season 2 of the Poker Tour adding a venue in Latvia for this season. [2]
From 2013 to 2016, PokerStars.com organized more than 15 stops of EKA events across central and eastern Europe.
In 2017, the EKA series was discontinued and rebranded as the PokerStars Festival. In 2022, pokerstars.com announced the return of regional tours as EKA (Eureka Poker Tour), UKIPT (UK and Ireland Poker Tour), FPS (France Poker Series) and ESPT (Estrellas Poker Tour). [3]
Discontinued: In 2024, PokerStars announced the new PokerStars Open that replaces the following tours: EKA (Eureka Poker Tour), UKIPT (UK and Ireland Poker Tour), FPS (France Poker Series) and ESPT (Estrellas Poker Tour), starting in March 2025. [4]
