PokerStars EPT11 Finale in Monaco Weeks Away

Grand final of the Season 11 of one of the biggest poker tours on the planet, PokerStars European Poker Tour, will be played out in Monaco, Monte Carlo, in just a few weeks. The Main Event, featuring a €10,600 buy-in and boasting a huge €1,000,000 guarantee, is certain to attract hundreds of players, all in search for their share of poker fortune and immortal glory that comes with winning a prestigious tournament such as this.

Starting on April 28, the final stop of EPT11 will feature an astounding total of 78 different events, making it the biggest ever PokerStars organized event. As for the Main Event, there are already 160 qualifiers who secured their seats and by the time it all kicks off on May 2, this number is certain to grow even more; all this before even considering any direct buy-ins, which certainly will not be lacking either.

With an exciting season behind us, the Grand Final will certainly be a special treat for all true poker fans out there, as it is bound to gather some of the best in the games, rubbing their shoulders with online qualifiers and poker amateurs who come there looking to make their own poker dream come true.

Almost every EPT stop this year has introduced some novelty and Monte Carlo will be no different. For the first time, players will be able to take part in the €50k one-day high roller event as well as "Poker for Pink" charity tournament, the proceeds from which will go towards "Pink Ribbon" Monaco organization, devoted to raising awareness and prevention of breast cancer.

Other events on the schedule include €1,100 France Poker Series Main Event, €100k Super High Roller (with reentries), €220 Women's Event, €5,200 8-handed turbo event and number of other tournaments featuring different games and formats. Cash games will be running around the clock as well, so cash grinders will not be left out either.

The full schedule can be found at the official EPT pages, together with all the fine details as well as traveling and accommodation info, if you are amongst those lucky ones who will be traveling to Monaco at the end of April.

An interesting fact about EPT11 Monte Carlo Main Event is that there will be eight free-roller qualifiers who earned this very valuable seat without investing any money. All of these eight will in fact be playing their first ever EPT event.
