PokerStars pushes the action to the limit at EPT Grand Final

The PokerStars and Monte-Carlo Casino EPT Grand Final is just days away and players are revving up for an action-packed festival on and off the felt. The event is the largest and richest ever held by PokerStars, an Amaya Inc. (TSX: AYA) company, and when not enjoying the poker action, players can enjoy the high-roller lifestyle with luxury transfers and accommodation, and adrenaline-infused experiences on offer all festival long.

This season’s EPT Grand Final poker festival features a record 78 events and one of the highlights will certainly be the ‘Poker for Pink’ tournament which will raise money for the breast cancer charity Pink Ribbon Monaco on May 2. Players will rub shoulders with celebrities and poker pros at this invite-only event – with luxury hotel stays, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air, PokerStars chipsets and dinners at some of Monaco’s top restaurants among the prizes on offer.

For players who want the excitement to start before they even get to Monaco, they can splash out on exclusive helicopter transfers from Nice Airport, taking in the stunning sights of the French Riviera along the way.

All EPT and France Poker Series (FPS) players will be able to compete in the fantastic F1 simulator and have the chance to follow the course of the real Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix circuit in a fiercely-contested competition that will be running throughout the festival, with a free hotel room for the debut event of EPT Season 12 in Barcelona on offer for the champion.

For those who want to try out sports car thrills for real, EPT Travel is also organizing an exclusive chance to drive an open-top Ferrari along the spectacular roads of the Cote d’Azur. For those who like their luxury on the open water, there is the opportunity to rent a luxurious yacht or catamaran – with trips ranging from two-hour sunset cruises (complete with champagne and appetizers) to full-day outings.
