EPT Paris €1,100 FPS Main Event Becomes Largest Ever!

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The 2023 EPT Paris €1,100 FPS Main Event has been confirmed as the biggest FPS Main Event in history!

Today's 1,024 entries has pushed the total number to 2,071, surpassing the 1,918 recorded from the 2022 EPT Monte Carlo FPS Main Event.

The winner of that event was Lucas Scafini, and he collected a cool €250,000 for the win last year. As the prize pool for this edition stands at €1,988,160, it's very likely that this tournament's winner will walk away with a bigger prize.

Payouts are yet to be confirmed, and will most likely be announced when tomorrow's Day 2 kicks off!
