Although it may not be attracting the same level of news coverage as the Beijing Olympic Games, the Grand Final of the EPT, which begins on Saturday at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, promises to be an exciting affair. The casino is holding a welcome party and its organisers are boasting a spectacular night. It will feature circus acts and free drink but is hoped that it won’t need the deployment of suspicious guys in sunglasses and silky pyjamas – they are confident we’ll see enough of that style at the poker tables.
The afternoon after the fire swallowers will see up to 1000 players entered for the showpiece, a NL game with an impressive €10,000 buy in, which could be the richest poker game outside Las Vegas – the first prise is expected to top €2m. Expect to see players who have won previous EPT Season 4 events, including last week’s San Remo chart topper Jason Mercier, as all of the tour’s champions automatically earn a place at the final.
The sheer volume of players will see the opening spread over the now traditional two days, with the final 9 scheduled to sit down on April 17th. Last year’s winner Gavin Griffin has since made his way into the record books, becoming the first player to win WSOP, WPT and EPT titles. Maybe someone new will make their name this year. Stay with us for up to date coverage.
