German poker pro Julian Stuer steamrolled the end of the 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® €25,750 High Roller on Friday night to claim €1,015,000 and his first PokerStars Championship title.
The third and final day of the tournament saw 27 hopefuls out of a 187-entry strong field return to the tables at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, and each of them guaranteed a portion of the massive €4.5 million prize pool.
The bubble had burst late the previous night and it took less than five hours to reduce the field to the last nine hopefuls with Julian Stuer in charge, holding a decent lead over Charlie Carrel and John Juanda.
