The 2015 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand €25,000 High Roller, a single-reentry tournament that attracted 215 entries — 162 unique (159 on Day 1 + three on Day 2) and 53 reentries (42 on Day 1 + 11 on Day 2) – and created a prize pool of €5,267,500, came to an end Friday night as 21-year-old Charlie Carrel topped a tough final table to capture the €1.114 million first-place prize.
The event marked Carrel's first €25K, and while it's his biggest success, it's not his only one. Back in November, Carrel made himself known by topping a field of 212 entries to win the 2014 Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final for £108,625, and less than two months ago he finished fifth in the EPT Malta €10,000 High Roller for €183,800.
