The European Poker Tour (EPT) Paris, scheduled for February 2024 at the Palais des Congrès, has been cancelled. This decision is linked to the current political crisis in France, which directly threatens Parisian gaming clubs. This major international event, which was due to bring together 1,700 players of 69 nationalities with 8 million euros in winnings at stake, will not be able to take place in a context where uncertainty reigns over the future of gaming clubs.
