EPT Season 5 Grand Final In Monte Carlo

As Season 5 of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour draws to a close, it’s time once again for the Monte Carlo Grand Final - the richest live poker tournament in Europe. The event is being held at the luxurious Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Hotel, with stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea - a fitting venue for Europe’s biggest annual poker event.

Satellites for the Grand Final are running at PokerStars now - giving you the chance to win a prize package worth $18,800 - including buy-in, hotel accommodation and money for expenses. Cash and FPP satellites are also available for just $2.22 or 111 Frequent Player Points, and you can also win your seat with PokerStars Steps Sit & Go satellites

Season 5 has proved to be the best yet. Stops on the tour so far have included visits to Barcelona, London, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Deauville, Dortmund, Copenhagen and the Caribbean. Each event attracted the biggest names in poker, including Team PokerStars Pros like Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein and Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier, all playing for millions of dollars in cash.

Season 4’s Monte Carlo Grand Final was won by PokerStars qualifier Glen Chorny, a 22-year-old student from Canada. A record field of 842 players entered the event, swelling a huge prize pool that meant Chorny’s win was good for a €2,020,000 ($3,203,671) payday, one of the biggest cash prizes ever won outside of the US. Team PokerStars Pro Joe Hachem came close to making the final table, eventually going out in 11th place. Meanwhile, Luca Pagano won €337,000 ($533,253) for finishing 6th, and now holds the record for most EPT cash finishes.
