With the cancellation of EPT Paris, this month's trip to the south of France for PokerStars EPT Monte-Carlo has been thrust into the spotlight.
It is not just the next big stop on the calendar, but now serves as the unofficial opener of the European Poker Tour season. For fans, it’s a chance to see the game’s biggest names back under the lights.
For Francine Watson, Associate Director of Creative & Content at PokerStars, it marks the start of what could be the most ambitious year yet for the brand’s poker output. Watson sees Monte-Carlo not as a finale, but as a launchpad. It’s a sign of the momentum PokerStars has built heading into 2025.
“Monte-Carlo used to feel like the grand finale,” Watson says. “But now, with Paris off the table, it’s the launch pad. There’s this real sense that live poker is back. And we’re coming into it with so much momentum.”

Boris Angelov raised to 1,200 under the gun and received four callers, including Antonio Iannei in the hijack, Bruno Soutavong on the button, and Florian Duta and Candido Cappiello in the blinds.
Angelov bet 1,400 on the Q♥4♣Q♣ flop and only Iannei and Soutavong called. The turn was the 3♣ and Angelov checked.
Iannei then bet 7,500 and Soutavong called, while Angelov got out of the way. The river was the A♠ and Iannei checked to Soutavong, who bet enough to put Iannei all in.
Iannei had around 15,000 remaining but quickly folded.
