EPT Monaco €100,000 Super High Roller
 

A guy who plays in our local cardroom claims he will be playing the super high roller (100K euros buyin) at EPT Monaco in April. He says he has already paid the entrance fee.

Now I can see there are 20 runners and 18 are named. Is there any way I can see the other two to establish if he has indeed entered?

This article has a list of 18 people who have committed to the event:

I assume I'm one of the other 2, no idea why they didn't put my name in the release

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Yes I have seen the list of 18. It was the other 2 I was interested in to see if the local player has really bought in. If Timex is another then that only leaves one. Any idea how I can find out who this is? Thanks.

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Maybe he entered twice and he is both number 19 and 20. NOW THATS BALLIN

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Not sure about this, but if he already payed... shouldnt he be listed in the tournament lobby in PStars? (Events>EPT>Qualifiers tab)

I can see only 3 players there atm, Kidpoker (Canada), montecarlo13 (Monaco), philbort (United Kingdom)

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

i'd be surprised if gus missed out on this one (since he lives in monaco) and it's pretty likely tom will join sometime soon to light another 100k on fire

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Dutch player Govert Metaal also plays, he bought in online as montecarlo13.

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

ivey? and gus maybe could be. not necessarily both of them but seems extremely likely

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

same

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

duh

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Govert is such a boss!

Philip "philbort" Gruissem has also bought himself in via the Pokerstars client, so he and Govert could be the two missing guys you are looking for

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

gonna be awesome. can't see isil winning it again tho

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Was just about to say, philbort isn't mentioned on that list so whoever the guy from your local card room is, he's likely lying. At least about having already paid the entry fee.

Cool list, sick tourney this is going to be. This list comes from the PokerStars weekly round-up from April 19‏, weird that they spell Viktor's name wrong.

Hi All,

***NOTE - Important announcement for the Super High Roller!

We have extended the reload period through to the start of Day 2! So you can enter for the first 4 levels, and re-enter for the first 8 levels. The start of Level 9 (1K - 3K - 6K - 250,000 stack) on Day 2 will close the reload period.

Cheers,

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Overheard Masa Kagawa and Bill Perkins chatting recently. Said they couldn't wait to get another shot at Tom Dwan's dead money. :)

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Why does Tom even play these tournies?

Re: EPT Monaco High Roller
 

Why not? Small field, huge payout, this is perfect for guys like Tom

Dwan is to high roller events what isil is to PLO.
