Following the success of the Berlin Cup, PokerStars and European Poker Tour have just announced the creation of the Monaco Cup. Complete with three starting days and a re-entry format, the Monaco Cup will boast a €500,000 guarantee and form part of a 50 tournament schedule at this year's EPT Grand Final. Kicking off on May 11 and coming to a conclusion on May 15, the organisers are expecting a healthy turnout in light of the 911 runners who contested this year's Berlin Cup. PokerStars are currently running a host of online satellites with €3,000 packages that include tournament entry, accommodation and spending money on offer.

THAT sounds like a GREAT tourney to win a prize package to. I'd give anything to go to Monaco. That's one beautiful place...
I came withing a HAIR of winning a Barbados or Bermuda PCA package from PokerStars 2 or 3 years ago...
I was just getting into poker online for the first time,..and I managed to stumble and bumble my way into 1st place in the final round to qualify for the trip to finish the tourney...THEN,....everything went south on me....wound up finishing about 20th place in that round,....and that was the end for me...
I got on a roll thinking I couldn't lose then BAM BAM BAM...2 or 3 bad hands...

I was at the Casino of Monaco during the year of 2000. It is amazing! Still I remember it. I entered there and I saw it from inside. I played also at the slot machines there for the very first and last time in my life and I won near 300 euros. I bet 10 euros. So, I had more money.
But, it is very expensive there. To live in Monaco you have to be billionaire. I remember one sandwich was 20 euro. If I win a big poker tournament, deffinately I will go there again on vacation.
I remember also that the tour guide told us that there are no crimes in Monaco, because everybody there is very rich. Also, there is not a police department. All the Monaco is covered with thousands of public cameras. And I saw how they clean the streets early morning.
They use special machines which cover the streets with a lot of soap foam. Every morning you can see a lot of foam everywhere. If I walk in the streets there with white socks, it wouldn't be dirty, cause it is so clean!
