So what conclusions can be made? In general, despite the large amount of guarantees, EPT was more financially successful than High Rollers Week from GGPoker.

But GGPoker has not just caught up with PokerStars, it has all chances to become the world poker tournament Asian network. By the way, we have a good rakeback offer there! Check it out!
