Monte Carlo Millions Makes History Again

The largest prize pool in European Poker Tournament History

Wednesday 3rd August 2005

WHAT:Registration for the 2005 Monte Carlo Millions, the world’s most exclusive poker tournament, has begun.

Last year, Monte Carlo Millions was the first poker tournament to ever be held in the principality of Monte-Carlo, Monaco. This year, the Prima Network, the world’s largest online poker network, has guaranteed the largest prize pool in European history, with $3 million total with $1million designated for the winner. Buy-in for the tournament is $25,000.

HOW:Seats can be acquired one of two ways: by personal invitation from world-renowned tournament director Matt Savage, or by winning a satellite tournament on the Prima Network. But act fast because the field is limited to only 120 players.

WHEN:For more information you can e-mail Matt Savage, tournament director, at: mattsavage@montecarlomillions.com, or sign up for a satellite tournament on any of the 39 card rooms on Prima Network, www.primapoker.com.

SOURCE:Monte Carlo Millions is the true representation of upper echelon tournament poker. In 2004, it played host to such poker idols as Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Dave Ulliot, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Antonio Esfandiari and Scotty Nguyen. This year’s action will be broadcast to a global television audience. For more information, please visit www.montecarlomillions.com
