Making Millions in Monte Carlo

By Lil Dice

The hype around the most exclusive poker event in the world has just turned on the heat after the success of this year's World Series of Poker and the 2005 Monte Carlo Millions is set to razzle and dazzle the most elite poker players. Due to the success of last year's multi-million dollar tournament, the prestigious Prima Poker network has decided to up the stakes in guaranteeing the largest prize pool that has been marked in European history.

Most online players would jump at the chance to play against professional players in land-based tournaments around the world. The Monte Carlo Millions provides the perfect setting and a tournament unparalleled in the poker industry, giving satellite winners the opportunity to take on their poker idols. The tournament attracts top professionals, celebrities and online players from around the world by bringing together the enchantment of the French Riviera, the opulence of Monte Carlo and the excitement of poker.

"There is nothing comparable to playing poker in Monte Carlo", says Tournament Director, Matt Savage. "Monte Carlo Millions puts you eye-to-eye with the best players in the world, competing for the biggest prize pool in the most luxurious and exciting setting in Europe. It's everything you ever dreamed poker could be and more".

Acquiring a seat at the Monte Carlo Millions can propagated in one of two ways – through a personal invite from world renowned Matt Savage, or by earning a seat by winning a satellite tournament, which are held daily at many of the poker rooms hosted by Prima Poker.
