The value keeps coming during the next nine tournaments, including the $5.50 buy-in $40,000 guaranteed Main Event, which has an EPT Barcelona package waiting for the eventual champion.

Greek Grinder Grabs a $20K Score From a $55 Buy-in

Greece's "samosisland" is the biggest winner from all the completed Mini EPT Monte-Carlo events, courtesy of taking down the $55 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Max Super High Roller. Some 2,888 players bought in and created a $144,400 prize pool, which was more than three times the size of the advertised $40,000 guarantee.

The prize pool was so large that nobody at the nine-handed final table took home less than $1,398 for their efforts, with the top three finishers turning their $55 investment into five-figure sums.

Belgium's "dieforme007" was the final table's first casualty. "Jackpot_7789" of Belarus and "boomlee" of the United Kingdom joined the Belgian on the rail. It is worth noting that PokerStars awarded eight of the finalists a $109 SCOOP ticket in addition to their prize, with the champion scooping, for want of a better word, a $1,050 SCOOP ticket.

The field continued thinning with the demises of "zidix," "Al Magellan," and "ste_mc_efc," the latter walking away with the tournament's last four-figure prize.

Germany's "jutsche1990" fell in third and collected $10,655 before "samosisland" defeated "BBrew-fish" of Switzerland heads-up to claim the $20,973 top prize and a $1,050 SCOOP ticket. Second place came with $14,948 plus a $109 SCOOP ticket.

Unlimited Re-Entry Event Ends in a Thai One-Two

PokerStars slapped a $30,000 guarantee on the prize pool of Event #5, the $25 No-Limit Hold'em 8-Max Unlimited Re-Entries. Some 2,249 unique entrants purchased 1,012 re-entries between them, making for a total attendance of 3,261, and a guarantee-busting prize pool worth $74,122.

The final table's first two casualties, "MarcasaurusMTG" and "Julesini" padded their bankroll with $711 and $998, respectively, with everyone else but the champion securing a four-figure payment; the champion won more than $10,000.

"Zilvinas25," "reiiiif," and "GL.PRO.DUDU" fell by the wayside, the latter turning $25 into $2,755.
