EPT Monte Carlo adds extra day

It's good to see that poker in Europe continues to grow. The European Poker Tour finale in Monte Carlo has added an additional first day, doubling the capacity of the tournament.

Set to be Europe's richest poker tournament, the EPT Grand Final will now take place from March 28 to April 2, 2007, in the Salles des Etoiles at the Monte Carlo Sporting at the exclusive Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort.

Last year's Grand Final, with a prize pool of €2,980,000, was won by PokerStars qualifier Jeff Williams, 19, who went home with €900,000 ($1,100,000).

Qualifying satellites for the EPT Grand Final - from as little as $2.20 - are running daily on PokerStars.com. There is also a daily $240 Double Shoot Out, with one guaranteed seat, as well as Sit n Go satellites. The final $800 super-satellite takes place on Friday, March 23 at 13.30 (ET) / 17.30 (GMT).

If you make it, be sure to visit the exclusive party that Stars is throwing at Jimmy'z - Monte Carlo's hottest nightclub. The party starts at 7.15pm on March 27. All EPT players, their guests and accredited media are invited!
