PokerStars Championship Presented by Monte-Carlo Casino Begins April 25

The PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo Casino features more than 70 action-packed events at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort April 25 through May 7.

The poker festival replaces the long-standing EPT Grand Final, which took place during the first 12 seasons of the European Poker Tour. The event was cut short of the 13th season due to PokerStars' rebranding.

In April, Slovakia's Jan Bendik outlasted a field of 1,098 players to win the last EPT Grand Final Main Event for €961,800.
