Results and information from the Monte Carlo Millions, tipped as the worlds most exclusive poker tournament... Now commonly referred to as "The World's Most Exclusive Poker Tournament" because it was the first ever Poker tournament to be held in the most glamorous location in the world - Monte Carlo; sponsored exclusively by PrimaPoker.com, one of the world's largest online Poker network.
The $20,000 package included round-trip airfare for two, a seven-night stay at the Hotel Hermitage, private helicopter transportation from Nice to Monte Carlo, a tour of the French Riviera, gourmet meals, lavish cocktail parties and the $14,000 buy-in to the event.
The tournament attracted eighty of the world's top professional players and satellite winners, but it was Phil Ivey who dominated the tournament since day one, and was the odds-on favorite among players and spectators alike.
On the final day, the action was heating up with the competition being extremely fierce. Finally, the results were in and they were supprising to say the least. The event was eventually won by Finnish based player, Jani Sointula. Jani walked away with a massive $400 000 in prize money.
Jani summed up his experience at the Monte Carlo Millions in this way, "It was an honor to play and win against the best poker players in the world. We Finns attribute our victories to what we call "SISU" or the 'fighting spirit." The Monte Carlo Millions was an experience of a lifetime, players were first class on all levels, the play was exceptional and Monte Carlo was amazing."
