Two PSPC Champions Headline Day 4 of EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event
There are 38 players remaining heading into Day 4 of the EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event as part of 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) presented by Monte-Carlo Casino®, and there are plenty of big names among them. Notably, both the inaugural and most recent PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC) winners, Ramon Colillas and Aliaksandr Shylko, are still kicking as they look for another massive score on the EPT trail.
The two PSPC champs will be joined by the likes of 2016 PCA Main Event Champion Mike Watson, 2017 PokerStars Championship Prague runner-up Jason Wheeler and 2021 EPT Socci Main Event winner Artur Martirosian, who are among the three most accomplished players in the remaining field.
Each of these players will have to compete against dominant chip leader Kenan Taylor, a newcomer to the live felt who is looking for his first ever Hendon Mob-recorded cash, as well as other big stacks including Arunas Sapitavicius, Milos Petakovic and Maduka Meragal.
