Schon in zwei Tagen geht es in Monte Carlo los. Das Grand Final der 12. Saison der PokerStars European Poker Tour beginnt und damit wird das kleine Fürstentum für gut anderthalb Wochen Nabel der Pokerwelt.
Erstmals kommt das Main-Event des Finale mit einem Buy-In von 5.300 Euro daher. Bis dato hatte dieses Turnier stets ein Buy-In von 10.600 Euro. Mit der Halbierung des Preises will PokerStars die Buy-Ins aller EPT-Turnier vereinheitlichen, aber auch dem Trend des Spielerrückgangs in den Main-Events entgegenwirken.
Bereits beim Main-Event des PCA wurde das Buy-In auf 5.300 Dollar halbiert. Dort sorgte dies in diesem Jahr jedoch nur für eine minimale Steigerung der Spielerzahl (um 14 Prozent von 816 im Vorjahr auf 928) während das Preisgeld sich fast halbierte.
Letztes Jahr zog das Main-Event des Grand Finals in Monte Carlo 564 Teilnehmer an. Diese Zahl dürfte nun deutlich getoppt werden, doch fraglich ist, ob der Preispool des Main-Events wieder die fünf Millionen Euro übersteigen wird.
Inzwischen sind ohnehin die vielen Side-Events und Highroller-Turniere mindestens ebenso wichtig wie das Main-Event und hier steht in Monte Carlo einiges auf dem Programm:
Highlights des Events

|---|---|---|
| April 26-28, 2016 | Single Re-Entry High Roller | €10.300 |

Gestreamt wird ab dem 30. April live via Twitch. Gezeigt werden das Finale vom €100k-Highroller, der Finaltisch vom günstigen FPS-Main-Event und ab dem 2. Mai das Main-Event. Erstmals werden dieses Mal an allen Tagen die Holecards der Spieler gezeigt. Damit starten die Stream eine Stunde zeitversetzt jeweils um 13.00 Uhr.
