Schon in vier Wochen wird an der Cote d’Azur wieder gepokert. Nach drei Jahren Pause wird endlich wieder vor der traumhaften Kulisse der französischen Riviera gespielt, wenn die PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) presented by Monte-Carlo Casino (r) von 28. April bis 7. Mai im Sporting Monte Carlo gastiert.
Natürlich hat fast jeder Turnierort seine Besonderheit. Monte-Carlo ist dann nochmal eine Stufe mehr besonders. Nicht nur, weil es die Stadt der Schönen und Reichen ist, es ist das komplette Paket, das die EPT Monte-Carlo zu etwas ganz besonderem macht. Die Kombination mit der Rückkehr der France Poker Series macht den Stopp an der Cote d’Azur für viele noch interessanter.
Fakt ist aber auch, dass ein Abstecher zur EPT Monte-Carlo zu den teuersten im internationalen Circuit gehört. Das macht die Satellites auf PokerStars umso attraktiver, denn man kann sich sowohl Packages für das € 1.100 FPS Main Event, als auch für das € 5.300 EPT Main Event erspielen. Mehr als 50 Spieler haben sich für die beiden Events auch schon qualifiziert, darunter auch einige DACHs wie Christian „WATnlos“ Rudolph, Claas „SsicK_OnE“ Segebrecht, Christopher „lissi stinkt“ Frank, Dominik „Bounatirou“ Nitsche und einige mehr.
Schon jetzt sind viele der angebotenen Zimmer von PokerStars Travel gebucht, für günstigere Unterkünfte muss man dann doch eine längere Anfahrt zum Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Casino in Kauf nehmen.
Die FPS bzw. EPT Monte-Carlo hat natürlich alles, was ein EPT Stopp braucht:
FPS Main Event: 28. April bis 2. Mai – €1.100
EPT Main Event: 2. bis 7. Mai – €5.300
FPS High Roller: 1. bis 2. Mai – €2.200
EPT Super High Roller: 1. bis 3. Mai – €100.000
EPT High Roller: 5. bis 7. Mai – €25.000
Dazu kommen jede Menge Satellites und Side Events, bei denen sowohl die Spieler mit kleinerer als auch größerer Bankroll auf ihre Kosten kommen.
Die Qualifikationsmöglichkeiten sind im PokerStars Client unter >>Events – Live<< zu finden, alle Details rund um die Live Events gibt es auf pokerstarslive.com.
