The Eureka Tour
The stop at Rozvadov is part of the fourth season of the Eureka Poker Tour; it is one of only a handful of PokerStars tours not to have a geographical reference in its name. The tour events take place across Central and Eastern Europe and began in the Czech Republic back in 2001. The 2002 tour ended in the Czech capital with a two week festival of poker including the tour Main Event.
This season has been focused around central Europe, starting out in Austrian capital Vienna. The Czech Republic features twice on the itinerary with a further visit to Prague in December. But right now all the focus is on the excitement of the Kings Casino extravaganza.
