Live Tournament Review: Wins for Loeser, Kempe and Pollak in EPT Monte Carlo

The last report from the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte Carlo covering the Main Event and the two final €25,000 No-Limit Hold’em events.

The equator is an imaginary line that separates the Northern and Southern hemispheres. There’s also an invisible line separating hemispheres in poker. On one side of that line, are people for whom a $10,000 buy-in event is a dream, and on the other, we have a bubble within a bubble that eats $10,000 buy-ins as a snack amid a long-arse movie, like Avengers: Endgame.

The Poker Gods pulled out their whips to corral those in the expensive hemisphere into the expensive quarters of the PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) in Monte Carlo, and we’re going to bring you up to speed on the remnants of that bad boy.

We begin with the Jupiter of EPT Monte Carlo, the €5,300 buy-in Main Event, and a final table that included a former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner, and two Triton Poker Series Champions, one of whom took the whole thing down.
