The €100,000 EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller from the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour presented by Monte-Carlo Casino has wrapped up on its third day of play with Alex Kulev, taking home the trophy, title and first-place spoils.
The surviving seven players from a field of 37 who returned to the felt today battled it out for the lion's share of the €3,589,740 prize pool. Kulev received €1,036,287 for the win after defeating Mikita Badziakouski in heads-up play. The final two agreed on a heads-up ICM deal, with Badziakouski also getting an extra €3,500. The duo would then compete for the remaining €43,074 as well as the bragging rights.
The win marked Kulev capturing his first major title, and his exploits on the felt secured the biggest score of his career. It also pushed him over the $2.5 million mark in live tournament earnings.
