Congratulations to EPT Grand Final winner Mohsin Chanaria!

European Poker Tour Season 8 is now in the books after nine days of incredible big money poker action at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT Grand Final. The venue was the exclusive Monte Carlo Bay Hotel as the world’s best players competed for huge sums of money. The Main Event winner was Mohsin Chanaria from the US, who collected the title, trophy and €1,350,000 in cash. In all 655 runners played the €10,300 Main Event, and 97 places were paid.

The festival drew to a close with the star-studded Tournament of Champions, featuring previous EPT Main Event winners. The victor was EPT6 Warsaw champ Christophe Benzimra who won a passport for Season 9.

Super High Roller - €100,000

The Super High Roller turned out to be one of the richest poker tournaments Europe has ever seen, with a total prize pool of €4,432,500 split between just six players from a field of 38. US pro Justin Bonomo took it down, beating a stellar field, and a final table that featured Team PokerStars Pros Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier and Daniel Negreanu. The win was worth an incredible €1,640,000 - one of European poker’s biggest-ever prizes.

High Roller - €25,500

The 8-Max High Roller event attracted another star-studded field and was won by Russia’s Igor Kurganov, who collected €1,080,000 for the win. There was also another big performance from Team Pro’s Daniel Negreanu, who went close to yet another tournament victory, eventually busting in runner-spot for €598,600 in prize money.
