PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo presented by Monte-Carlo Casino® was the first PokerStars Championship event to be held on European soil, marking the final step in the transition away from the European Poker Tour.
Over almost two weeks, nearly 10,000 entries were logged over the course of dozens of tournaments in a venue overlooking the sea on the beautiful French Riviera. PokerNews was on hand for live reporting duties through the €5,300 Main Event and a number of high rollers, and we picked out five of the best hands from the grand event.
