Titan Poker Players Fly to Monaco for European Poker Tour Grand Final

Internationally renowned poker room Titan Poker sent three skilled players to compete in the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo.

(PRWEB) April 30, 2008 -- Titan Poker (http://www.titanpoker.com), the largest poker room on the iPoker Network, awarded three players with prize packages worth a combined total of $60,000 to the European Poker Tour Monte Carlo (EPT Monte Carlo) earlier this month. The players traveled from France, Italy and Germany to compete in this elite tournament, which marked the end of the EPT's fourth season and eight months of intensive poker across Europe's top cities.

All players won their seats at Super Satellites staged online at Titan Poker. For French player Vincent Marlard, 29, an investment of just $21 turned into a $20,000 prize package to the EPT Grand Final.

He said: 'I originally paid just $21 for an online EPT Monte Carlo satellite. From here I kept on winning seats to bigger satellites until I eventually won my place in Monte Carlo. It felt like a dream.'

Titan Poker sent its representatives to the Columbus Hotel in Monte Carlo, Monaco, from the 12th to the 18th of April. It was not the first time that the popular poker room has sent its players to luxurious Monaco for this event, however this year's prize package was larger than ever before. All players received a 10,600 Euro buy-in to the Main Event, six nights' accommodation at the Columbus Hotel in Monte Carlo, and approximately $2,400 for flights and spending.

Following the tournament, Felice Piccaluga, from Italy, said: 'I am thrilled that I was given this amazing experience. Unfortunately, I was eliminated on the second day but I had a fantastic time and I had the opportunity to play with some of the biggest stars of the poker world! I'm definitely going to keep playing at Titan Poker for another chance!'

Titan Poker regularly awards its players with seats at the world's most well-known poker tournaments. It will be sending players to the World Series of Poker 2008 in Las Vegas and the World Poker Showdown in the Dominican Republic later this year. In May, Titan Poker will sponsor the Eurocity Poker Tour Madrid Open - an elite poker tournament open to just 200 players.
