Moment in the sun for millions in Monte Carlo

By Christopher Hunt

It's Europe's richest poker tournament and it's inside the infamous fortress of fame and fortune that is Monte Carlo. They'll hand you the keys and let you in, for as little as €7 even, if you can manage a couple of good moments at Sun Poker.

There's no shortage of reasons to play the European Poker Tour Season 3 (EPT3) Monte Carlo Grand Final.

The huge prize pool (€2,980,000 last year), the huge payout for top spot (€900,000 for last year's winner, 19-year-old Jeff Williams), or the ritzy digs (the exclusive Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort) would seem enough.

If not, try this on for size: Sun Poker will pay for it.

Grand final satellites will be running right through March 3 on the poker site, with packages valued at €12,000 (€10,000 buy-in and €2,000 in your player account for travel and hotel) up for grabs.

The main super-satellite goes every Saturday at 9:00 p.m. (GMT) with a €250+€20 buy-in. Daily €40+€4 satellites go at 10:15 p.m. (GMT), and there are four daily thunder satellites as well with €7+€0.75 buy-ins.
