EPT Monte-Carlo returns to Monaco from April 28 to May 7
Manig Loeser will soon have a successor! The COVID-19 pandemic forces the German to win in 2019 during the final edition of the EPT in Monaco… PokerStars has therefore just confirmed its return to Monte-Carlo, from April 28 to May 7.
The last time PokerStars had set up its PokerStars and the Monte-Carlo© Casino European Poker Tour, Team France had set fire to the side tournaments with in particular a victory for Benjamin Pollak on a High Roller at €25,000 (after a deal with the future world champion Koray Aldemir, editor’s note) or the second success on the circuit of a Romain Lewis not yet WSOP champion. The 2022 edition should represent a ton of tricolors and the French should represent a good part of the field on this festival of almost two weeks.
