After a one year hiatus under the umbrella of the PokerStars Championship, the popular European Poker Tour returns to the Cote d'Azur for the 12th time and the flagship event of the 2018 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo?Casino EPT festival is the �5,300 Main Event.

In its history, the biggest-ever prize in the history of the tour was awarded in Monaco when Pieter de Korver took home �2,300,000 back in 2009. Some of the biggest names in poker were competing year after year for the prestigious title at Le Sporting complex with Steve O'Dwyer and Adrian Mateos featuring in the winner's spotlight previously.

Defending champion of the EPT Main Event title in Monaco is Slovakia's Jan Bendik, while 2017 PokerStars Championship presented by Monte-Carlo?Casino Main Event winner Raffaele Sorrentino will be back for another shot at a title after qualifying online for the event.
