EPT GRAND FINAL: SHAKERCHI WIN PUTS AN END TO MONTE CARLO

PICTURE: POKERNEWS

Wow, what an incredible tour stop - kudos to the EPT and to the Casino Monte Carlo for pulling off what is the most prestigious event on the world poker circuit, aside from the WSOP.

This year's EPT Grand Final was the biggest one yet and Monte Carlo did not disappoint. We close out the Grand Final with results from the 10K NLH High Roller Turbo event that was completed earlier in the week - final results were released earlier today.

Talal Shakerchi won the event. The British cash game pro held the lead after Day 1 of the 100K High Rollers event here in Monte Carlo - event that was won by Justin Bonomo.

Shakerchi defeated popular American pro Kevin MacPhee heads up, collecting a nice 223K EURO for the victory.

Isildur1 - aka Viktor Blom - was seventh in the event while fellow Canadians Sam Chartier and Michael "Timex" McDonald both earned Top 8 finishes.
