Gianluca Speranza is the defending champion in this event, besting a field of 179 entries to win €853,000 during EPT Monte Carlo 2022. He defeated a strong final table line-up that included Bruno Lopes, Dimitar Danchev, and Steve O’Dwyer. All of these players have already been spotted in the tournament halls this year, and they are expected to make another attempt at coming out on top in the €25,000 buy-in this year.
