Tournament Report
PIETER DE KORVER WINS EPT GRAND FINAL IN MONTE CARLO
MONTE CARLO, Monaco, May 4, 2009: The PokerStars.com European Poker Tour has a new Grand Final champion. Pieter de Korver, 26, from Leeuwarden, Holland, a member of the new Team PokerStars Pro Netherlands, has won €2.3million at the richest poker tournament ever held outside Las Vegas.
After six days of high-octane poker in one of the most glamorous destinations in the world, De Korver outlasted a record field of 935 players at the €10,600 EPT Monte Carlo main event. The total prize pool was a staggering €9.35 million.
De Korver only turned pro two years ago and last year triumphed in a PokerStars-sponsored TV show called 'Poker Kampioen Van Nederland' which involved some 20,000 players. He then came 28th at the Master Classics in Amsterdam for €8,000. This was his third EPT event but first cash.
De Korver staged a remarkable comeback during the nine-hour final table. At one stage he was down to just two big blinds but then won a series of showdowns to take the chip lead. He said: 'It's amazing. I was loving the atmosphere and just really enjoying playing cards. I had a little bit of luck… and then I won. That's the best part of poker.' De Korver was cheered on by a large group of friends who had driven overnight from the Netherlands to support him.
A wealth of stars competed in the event, held from April 28 to May 3 in the beautiful Salle des Etoiles at the Monte Carlo Bay Resort. They included nearly the entire Team PokerStars Pro team such as poker legend Daniel Negreanu, current world champion Peter Eastgate and former world champions Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer and Chris Moneymaker as well as rappers Nelly and Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes, rugby star Sebastien Chabal, footballer Tomas Brolin and tennis legend Boris Becker. Celebrated poker pros such as Phil Ivey, Andy Bloch, Tony G, Liz Lieu and Andy Black also took part.
A total of 157 PokerStars players won their seats online for the prestigious event which attracted entrants from a record 57 countries.
