VIDEO: Watch the best hands from EPT Monte Carlo

Live Events
Televised broadcasts have become a staple of EPT festivals, and during the Monte Carlo stop, viewers came for up to 7 days of broadcasts. These provided plenty of interesting moments, and we've picked out the best of them for you!

JJ vs QQ vs KK
 

What kind of telecast would this be if the dealers didn't conjure up a proper clash of premiums for once? The Monte Carlo TV marathon was no exception, with JJ, QQ and KK clashing like this.


Veni vidi vici
 

The legendary Latin phrase attributed to Julius Caesar translates as I came, I saw, I conquered. And nothing could be more fitting for the following situation, in which Austrian player Matthias Lipp missed the start of the day and didn't sit down at the table (which just happened to be televised) until after the hour was up. As soon as he arrived, he ended up all-in on the first hand, and that's how it all went down:


Double up for Kanit
 

Mustapha Kanit, a long-time pro and owner of five EPT Series Spade trophies, had a great run in the Monte Carlo Main Event. He battled his way to 26th place (€26,500) in that event, but a little bit of luck helped him do it.


Wolfgang at the TV table
 

One of the last 24 players in this tournament was an internet sensation you may know as Wolfgang. The historic first poker content creator to surpass the 1 million subscriber mark on YouTube (excluding the PokerStars channel) has made a name for himself mainly through short videos of various cash game sessions, but as he's now proven, he's not lost in tournament poker either.


Amateur readed Mateos
 

Until the semi-final day, hopes were long alive for Adrian Mateos to become the first player in history to win the same Main Event twice. Back in 2015, the current world #13 managed to take down all the players and take home the €1,082,000 prize. However, the chance for a possible double ended in this hand, in which amateur player German Wenzelburger outplayed Mateos like this!


Cracked Aces at the final table
 

Imagine you're at the final table of the EPT Main Event, there's an even million euros up for grabs for the winner, and your opponent calls all in. You have the best possible AsAd hand under your belt, and after the call, your fate is in the hands of the poker gods. And sometimes that might not turn out for the best.....


Quads in heads-up
 

Seeing quads hit on a TV table is a great rarity, but add to that the final heads-up of the biggest ever EPT in Monte Carlo, and you get a truly unique moment!


Million Dollar Moment
 

The record-breaking man versus man battle lasted over 6 hours in the Main Event. During that time, chips were moved from side to side, but it was all decided in this moment:
