The European Poker Tour (EPT) has long been a proving ground for poker's elite, where strategy, skill, and a bit of luck collide to crown champions on the grandest stages.

As the tour progressed from Season 11, it witnessed the emergence of new talents and unforgettable moments. Each season brought its own set of heroes and stories, shaping the legacy of the EPT and solidifying its place as one of the most prestigious circuits in the world of professional poker.

This article continues our dive into the history of the EPT, following up on part one, which explored the first ten years of its inception and the champions who defined that era.

The 11th season of the EPT marked a historic moment for Spain as Adrian Mateos became the first Spaniard to win an EPT Main Event. Mateos's victory at the 2015 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo occurred just two years after his win at the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event at the age of 19.

This season also introduced Malta as a new stop, with Jean Montury claiming victory, and saw the final EPT event held in Deauville, France.

The PokerStars Championship was discontinued after one season, with the EPT brand returning once more.

Two new stops were announced as part of the 2023 EPT season. Paris became the 13th European capital to host a stop on the European Poker Tour, and popular poker destination Cyprus joined the action.

There were stories aplenty as PokerStars qualifier Razvan Belea dominated in Paris and Canada's Mike Watson became only the third two-time EPT champion in history with victory in Monte Carlo, seven years after previously taking down the 2016 PCA Main Event.

Another monster EPT Barcelona Main Event saw Simon Wiciak crowned champion, before PokerStars 'Dare to Stream' winner Gilles Simon became the inaugural winner of EPT Cyprus. The year was rounded out in stunning style with a memorable comeback for popular Irish player Padraig O'Neill, who overcame Jon Kyte heads-up after the Norwegian had held a near unassailable chip lead.

The 20th season of the EPT followed a familiar path, revisiting the same five stops as the previous year. EPT Paris kicked off the season with a historic turnout, shattering its attendance record.

Overcome with emotion, Boatman fought back tears as confetti cannons erupted to celebrate his victory.

Next up was EPT Monte Carlo, where yet another Main Event attendance record was broken. Derk van Luijk emerged victorious from a field of 1,208 players, becoming the second EPT champion of 2024.
