Popular London card room the Fox Poker Club has announced that it will be hosting the 2012 English Poker Open when the increasingly prestigious event returns to the capital once more in September.
Established in 2009, the RakeTheRake.com sponsored poker tournament is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s most anticipated events and the last time the EPO visited London, it attracted over 200 runners and generated a prize pool in excess of $1 million.

“We know that the English Poker Open and Fox Poker Club are a perfect partnership, bringing such an exciting tournament to the West End's only venue dedicated to poker is a great opportunity for everyone,” said Simon Tomsett, London Poker Manager for Genting Casinos in a press release.
“We are looking forward to repeating the success of the EPO this year when all eyes are on our nation's capital. We will to continue to build the reputation of the country as a real player in the international poker scene.”
