Good Evening 2P2er's!
I know it has only very recently been released, but has anyone got their hands on this book?
It has been given to all of the winners on the EPT, as well as being for sale on Stars VIP store for 3200 FPP. (which depending on your level/what you choose works out about $32.00 I think).
Here is a brief write up:
This is also probably what PokerStars thought when it decided to celebrate the first 10 years of its European Poker Tour (EPT) live poker circuit with an exclusive coffee-table style book to be awarded to all the EPT Season 11 winners and some of the room's best online players.
The book "draws upon a collection of stories, quotes, and features from the tour's first 10 seasons, as well as some breath-taking photography that brings the world of high-stakes poker to life," says a post published on the PokerStars Blog. "They are images that have transformed the perception of poker, with the EPT becoming poker's most democratic institution, open to anyone with a few dollars in their account and the will to take on the best in the game."
In its 300 pages, the exclusive hard-cover volume takes people through a 10-year-long journey that starts with an intuition of the first-ever EPT CEO Jon Duthie and develops until today’s most prestigious and successful European poker events.
"The limited edition book tells the story of the tour, from its watery inception, through to its early seasons and the records that have been repeatedly broken," PokerStars' Stephen Bartley writes. "It also includes features on memorable champions whose stories are now forever part of the poker canon. But mostly this book celebrates the people behind the tour, the staff, the players and the fans, each of whom has helped made the EPT the success story that it is."
I'm thinking of grabbing it, but wanted to hear others thoughts/opinions/reviews.
Cheers
JB
