For his efforts, Lococo scooped €417,820 with runner-up Bartolomeo Tato, of Italy, taking home €249,000. He didn’t stop there however, and came out victorious again in the EPT National Main Event.

Lococo added another €88,560, bringing his total lifetime winnings at EPT Prague to a huge €506,380.

Papo MC made some big news in 2021 as well by finishing seventh in the $10,000 Main Event at the World Series of Poker for $1.2 million.

Robert Cowen wins high roller; Monte Carlo next stop for EPT

In other action from the festival, British player Robert Cowen took down the €10,300 High Roller event. The tournament drew in 271 entries for a €2.7 million prize pool. Cowen earned €475,410 for taking the title.

PokerStars officials were happy to see live action return and the results of the first series.

“We were so pleased to see so many of the PokerStars community come together again and are delighted at the positive reaction and feedback from the event,” Stars managing director and commercial officer Severin Rasset said. “EPT Prague was a great step back into the live space and we’re excited to offer our players even more memorable live experiences throughout the year.”

The EPT next heads to the Monte Carlo Casino, with 10 days of poker from April 28 to May 7. Players can again look for qualifying opportunities online at PokerStars.

Bounty action also heads to Southern Europe

Players in Southern Europe are also in luck with a Bounty Builder Series. The festival promises 174 events all in the progressive knockouts (PKO) format.

In a PKO, players who eliminate another only earn a portion of that opponent’s bounty. The other portion is placed on the winning player’s head. This sees larger and larger bounties on players through the tournament.

PokerStars Southern Europe is available to players in:

The series guarantees more than €6 million, including three Main Events for a combined guarantee of €1 million. The €10 Main Event is set for the first day of action and guarantees €200,000.

The €50 Medium then runs on March 6 with a €300,000 guarantee and €250 High Main Event plays out on the last day for €500,000. Here’s a look at the complete schedule.

PokerStars Live returns with Monte Carlo event, online qualifying begins

In other news, PokerStars announced another live series on Wednesday as well as the return of the operator’s regional tours. The Monte Carlo stop returns to the European Poker Tour (EPT) from April 28 – May 7.

“The PokerStars community has been awaiting the return of more live events, and PokerStars’ ambition for 2022 is to provide players with the best experiences possible, while keeping health and safety a top priority,” the company noted in a news release.

Online qualifiers for the Monte Carlo stop as well as EPT Prague, which runs from March 5-16, are already underway. For Prague, players will find mega satellites over the next two weekends. Those events guarantee 10 tournament packages.

Grand Prix KO Winter Edition Rolls Into Partypoker; A Look at Recent MILLIONS Online Winners

Partypoker players can rev their engines through Jan. 17 with the Grand Prix KO Winter Edition offering 14 PKO events.

Partypoker players can rev their engines through Jan. 17 with the Grand Prix KO Winter Edition. The series features 14 progressive knockout (PKO) events with buy-ins ranging from $3.30 to $530.

The series promises something for players of varying skill levels and bankrolls. The schedule includes satellites for most events, and all events come with several starting flights to give more chances to win.

“The Christmas and New Year period is always a busy one for us here at partypoker, and the same can be said for our players, so we wanted to give our players a series which allows maximum flexibility during a time where poker doesn’t always take centre stage,” partypoker head of poker room management Chris Donnachie said in a news release.

“The Grand Prix KO Winter Edition is the perfect solution, with its multiple daily starting flights and chances to play.”

[cta id=2982 type=cta]

A look at the series from partypoker

The $109 Main Event highlights the series and features a $500,000 guarantee. That event kicked off on Jan. 1 with numerous starting flights scheduled before the final day on Jan. 17. The last starting flight is scheduled for the same day as Day 2.

Players will have numerous qualifying opportunities as well. The Main Event satellite tree starts at just $0.01 with the popular centrolls running daily.

The $215 Six-Max Championship runs through Jan. 6 and comes with a $200,000 guarantee. The  $55 Super 50 also begins Jan. 3 and continues through Jan. 10. Players in that event will find a nice guarantee of $200,000.

Mini events and high rollers

Even more is on tap for players at upper and lower price points. Bigger stakes players will find some nice high roller tournaments to check out.

The $530 Seven-Max High Roller runs through Jan. 10 with a guarantee of $500,000. The $530 Six-Max High Roller then kicks off and runs until the final day of the series and also promises a $500,000 guarantee.

Beyond the Main Event and high rollers, partypoker is also including mini events to make the series accessible to a wide range of players. Except for the high-rollers, all scheduled Grand Prix tournaments come with a mini edition.

The mini tournament runs alongside the larger tournament on the same dates. The buy-in for these events is only 10% of the main tournament buy-in.

Capping the schedule is the $33 Closer during the final week of the series and guarantees a $150,000 prize pool.

“I’m looking forward to playing some poker over Christmas and the Winter Grand Prix is perfect for players of any level,” Team partypoker’s Carl Froch said. “I’m particularly looking forward to the Main Event, and there are plenty of opportunities to qualify for this for much less than $109. I hope to see lots of you at the tables.”

Here’s a look at the complete series.
