The 4th PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Grand Final takes place this Spring in Monte Carlo from April 12-17, 2008.

This spectacular event – the highlight of the European poker calendar - attracts top players from all over the world and is set to break all records in 2008.

Last year in Season 3, the Grand Final became the richest poker tournament ever held outside the USA. A total of 706 players headed for the beautiful Mediterranean Principality of Monaco creating a prize pool of over €6.6m.

The first prize of €1.8million ($2.4 million) went to WSOP bracelet winner Gavin Griffin, from California, whose trip to Monte Carlo cost him just $240 after he won a Double Shootout Qualifier on PokerStars.

A further 191 players also qualified online with PokerStars for the Season 3 Grand Final, and three of them made it to the final table - Soren Kongsgaard from Denmark – 3rd with €610,550 euro; American Josh Prager - 5th for €391,500 and Britain's Steve Jelinek - 6th for €305,270. The total amount won by all PokerStars qualifiers at the event was nearly $5 million.

This year the Grand Final again takes place in the beautiful Salle des Etoiles room at the Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Hotel. With its stunning views of Monte Carlo and the Mediterranean, the Salle des Etoiles is a fitting stage for one of the most exciting poker tournaments on the planet.

Amongst the top players expected this year are Team PokerStars Pros Daniel Negreanu, PCA Champion Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, former World Champions Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker and Joe Hachem, as well as Barry Greenstein, Vanessa Rousso and many others. Winners of all the Season 4 European Poker Tour events will also be at the Grand Final including EPT Baden winner Julian Thew and EPT Prague winner Arnaud Mattern.
PokerStars players can win their seat online - in a wealth of different buy-in satellites – right up until March 29, 2008.
