The penultimate day of the 2019 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT is featuring the start of the last €25,000 tournament of the festival which will be a two-day affair. The €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament kicks off at 6 PM local time in the Americas Room in the Monte Carlo Bay Resort & Hotel.

A lot of the best players in the world have come to Monaco to battle it out against their peers and this is one of the last chances for the big names to stake their claim on the trophy and what promises to be a pretty large first-place prize. The players will receive 50,000 in chips and six time bank cards when they first take their seats. The tournament features 30-minute levels and there are ten levels of play scheduled for the first day with a 30-second shot clock throughout the days. There will be a 20-minute break after every four levels.

Players can reenter an unlimited number of times until the start of Day 2, Saturday, May 4 at 12:30 PM. Anyone who makes Day 2 will also receive 3 additional time bank cards at the start of the day and another 3 will be handed out to each player when the final table has been reached.
