New book celebrates ten years of the ecu Poker Tour

Of every little thing ever thought up by people wallowing within the bathtub, the ecu Poker Tour should be right up there because the best--at least so far as poker players are concerned.

It is also that other great discoveries were created from this most meditative of spots, new planets perhaps, or cures for wrinkles--eureka moments that struck while their creators floated their ducks, spiked their hair into Mohawks, and put bubbles on their face to pretend that they had a beard. But so far as we're concerned a very powerful was the EPT, and we now have John Duthie to thank for it.

Duthie effectively transformed world poker as we all know it. It should not was the primary poker tour, however the EPT has since become referred to as the best, probably the most prestigious, and the richest. And that's the reason exactly what a brand new book, to be published by PokerStars and launched this month, will celebrate.

Celebrating ten years of the ecu Poker Tour

This coffee-table style book tells the tale of the EPT to celebrate its ten year anniversary. It draws upon a set of stories, quotes and lines from the tour's first ten seasons, in addition to some breath-taking photography that brings the sector of high stakes poker to life. They're images that experience transformed the perception of poker, with the EPT becoming poker's most democratic institution, open to anyone with a couple of dollars of their account and the desire to tackle the most efficient within the game.

In the distance of 300 pages, the limited edition book tells the tale of the tour, from its watery inception, through to its early seasons and the records which were repeatedly broken. It's also features on memorable champions whose stories at the moment are forever a part of the poker canon.

But mostly this book celebrates the folks behind the tour, the staff, the players and the fans, each of whom has helped made the EPT the success story that it's.

So how do you pay money for this kind of limited-edition keep-sakes? Well a method is to win an EPT Main Event. All of the tour's 101 champions will receive a complimentary copy of the book, which they are able to collect either at an EPT event or by emailing ept@pslive.com.

Alternatively, and maybe more realistically, you should purchase the book with FPPS throughout the PokerStars VIP store from mid-December. Alternatively you'll be able to attempt to win one later this month as EPT Live, broadcasting from the EPT Prague Festival, could be giving copies away as prizes.

Regardless of ways you pay money for a copy, you'll discover it a treat to possess. It is the perfect technique to relive the last ten years of the tour. Actually, make that the primary ten years.
