In 2012 Europe’s richest poker tour returns to Monaco in style, with the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino European Poker Tour Grand Final. This glittering event will draw Season 8 to a close in one of the world’s most exclusive and luxurious destinations, and award millions of euros in cash prizes.

After a one-year break, the EPT finale returns to its spiritual home in Monaco. The tournament room will be Le Sporting located in the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Av Princesse Grace, and the poker festival will run from April 23-May 1, 2012.

The PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT Grand Final Main Event will have a €10,600 buy-in and the world’s best players, including Team PokerStars Pros like Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier and Liv Boeree, plus hundreds of PokerStars qualifiers, will take part.

38 players in the first event Event 1: No-Limit Hold'em - Super High Roller - Reload - 8-Max

5 players had a second €100,000 bullet

www.pokerstarsblog.com reports

"Isaac Haxton, Justin Bonomo, Dietrich Albrecht and Bill Perkins all purchased second bullets worth €100,000 each but the most interesting reload came from Leon Tsoukernik. The high roller from the Czech Republic spent his dinner break playing craps where he won €70,000. After being eliminated from the Super High Roller he promised to be back should he spin up the €70,000 into €100,000. A few shakes of a lambs tale and he was back with his €100,000 and became our fifth reload."

As to who has what

"The chip leader is Talal Shakerchi on 1,165,000. He overtook Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel, in the final few hands, when he eliminated Viktor Blom. Some of the players who did not make it through yesterday, but have a chance to re-enter today, include Gus Hansen, Sam Trickett, Jason Mercier, Govert Metaal, Mike McDonald, Daniel Cates, Artem Litvinov and the man himself Leon Tsoukernik."
