EPT GRAND FINAL: MAIN EVENT DRAWS 665, GRAND SLAM POINTS AT STAKE

PICTURE: POKERSTARS (Neil Stoddart)

It's still early ... it's still very early, but, Nick Yunis is your Day 1 Chip Leader as the Main Event at the PokerStars and Monte Carlo Casino EPT Grand Final kicked off with two Day 1's on Wednesday and Thursday.

A grand total of 665 all put up 10K EURO in order to take their shot at the EPT's most prestigious title.

As mentioned, Nick Yunis has the very early lead after Day 1 while Doc Sands, John Eames, Tristan Clemencon, Freddy Deeb, Jason Wheeler and Tom Marchese all have top 20 chip stacks.

We're still a long ways away from the final table, that will happen next Tuesday, it will be fun to see which players make a move in the coming days.

The EPT Grand Final Main Event is the second PTPR Grand Slam Event of the season. The PCA in the Bahamas was the first Grand Slam of 2012:
