As the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Monte Carlo starts to wind down, there is one last five-figure buy-in remaining on the schedule; the €25,000 EPT High Roller. Over the last eight days, the series hosted at Sporting Monte-Carlo has attracted some of the best and brightest stars in the poker community, and today’s tournament is expected to bring an equal calibre of prestige.

The same event last year drew an impressive field of 211 entries which saw the eventual winner Mikita Badziakouski claim the trophy and the lion’s share of the €5,066,110 prize pool. Badziakouski defeated Ben Heath in heads-up play taking home a massive €938,042 for his efforts.
