Although the event in its entirety will be a big and significant one, there are several important highlights worth mentioning. There will be 78 events overall taking place from April 28th but the one that deserves a special attention is 'Poker for Pink' tournament.

Away from the tables, players will be able to enjoy in a great F1 simulator, following the course of the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit. The eventual champion of this prestigious race will be receiving a free room for the inaugural event of EPT12 taking place in Barcelona. Those who prefer real-life race cars are not forgotten either, as they'll have an opportunity to take a ride in an open-top Ferrari.

Final three qualifying episodes and the final table of the PokerStars Shark Cage will also take place in Monte Carlo. Three qualifiers will try to battle their way to the seat that gives them a shot at the life changing money.

Number of big names will be in the field. €100K Super High Roller has already had some well known pros confirm their participation, including Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Mike 'Timex' McDonald, Sam Trickett and quite a few others.

The Grand Final will be broadcast live for full nine days, starting with the €100K Super High Roller kicking off on April 30. As always, those staying in tune with the EPTLive will have an opportunity to participate in numerous quizzes and competitions while enjoying the commentary by some of the top class professionals.
