EPT Monte Carlo Kicks Off Today With Day 1a of €1,100 FPS Main Event
The countdown to the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo is finally over and poker players from dozens of nations have journeyed for the card-playing festivities taking place at Sporting Monte-Carlo.
PokerNews is on-site to cover the tournament action and that coverage begins today with Event #1: €1,100 FPS Main Event, which kicks off at 12 p.m. local time.
The four-day PokerStars France Poker Series Main Event will feature four starting flights, the second of which will take place later today and the latter two playing out on April 25.
If the most recent FPS Main Event offering in Paris earlier this year was any indication, the event should draw a sizable field. Thanks to two additional starting flights in the French capital, the tournament set a new entry record, with the final tally being 4,149. Mateusz Moolhuizen defeated Blaz Zerjav in heads-up play to win the trophy and €470,830.
Action will kick off with blinds of 100/100/100 and levels lasting 40 minutes with 20-minute breaks every three levels. A 75-minute dinner break is currently scheduled to take place after the completion of Level 10 (approximately 7:40 p.m.) with late registration closing when play resumes.
Players are allowed two entries per flight and each flight will play until 15% of the field remains, at which point all players will be in the money heading to Day 2 (April 26).
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is here on the Mediterranean coast and ready to provide updates of all of the EPT Monte Carlo action.
