Grand final of the 6th European Poker Tour.
From 25th to 30th April, the European Poker Tour takes over the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel. Attracting some of the best players in the world, games take place in several salons of the hotel and the Sporting d'Ete, with the grand final on 30th April in the Salle des Etoiles.
Last year's prize pool was 9.35 million euros, and the grand final champion was Pieter de Korver who pocketed 2.3 million euros. But if you fancy your chances, it won't be cheap, since the buy-in fee is 10,600 euros. For a more reasonable 5.45 euros, many players win a place at the tables through Internet qualifying rounds on the pokerstars.com website. In 2009, 157 of the 935 players qualified online.
