On 6 May, they shuffled up and dealt in the Main Event of the finale of the most prestigious poker series in Europe: the Monte Carlo Grand Final of the European Poker Tour. Turnout for Day 1A was a bit of a disappointment, with only 108 entrants to pay the €10,300 fee, falling well short of last year’s 271 players.
