Even though the final eight featured poker pros such as David Peters, Ole Schemion and Patrik Antonius, the last stages of the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event final table were mainly conquered by relatively live-tournament noobs and it was French poker player Nicolas Dumont who eventually grasped the title for €712,000 (approx. US$854,400) plus a wonderful $30,000 Platinum Pass to PokerStars Pla[...] Read more » EPT Monte Carlo Main Event won by Nicolas Dumont for €712,000

Many players win big money in poker tournaments and is very nice when they are more anonymous, but if you're from America it's not very good. You are simply robbed of the tax system. I'm glad that the winner was not from SUA because 712.000 euro minus taxes approximate 50% with + or - is a disaster. The player on the 4th place is American and i do not think he will be very happy.

What can you say about this whole story. A live tournament noob as described won it by his first ever participation. And how? By taking the place of his friend who was unable to take the trip. Do these things actually happen?
the French poker player Nicolas Dumont .... for me generally no longer was in sight of the French poker players .... and then he won a big tournament and won good money in it ... maybe this new cool name in the poker community ? .... I personally hear about it for the first time ... good luck to him

Gigantic congratulations to Nicolas Dumont on being crowned champion of the 2018 EPT Monte Carlo main event. The final table consisted of eight players from eight different countries? That's rare, isn't it?

Many congratulations to Nicolas Dumont on winning the Monte Carlo event. This final table was loaded with top top players and he must have played extremely well to win this
Hey not bad from a driving instructor to be honest. I've seen plenty of them having a tremendous amount of patience since their jobs requires it - well, so does poker. Must be nice having 600k, but probably the french government going to get half of it via taxes.

This does not happen very often, but is not a rarity with eight players from 8 countries. The fact that this player Nicolas Dumont, played instead of a friend and won the 1st place is a rarity. This happens very rarely and if you think about it there are many people who can play live tournaments and have beautiful performances but their shyness is great, and they give up going into any casino to play live tournaments. If this would happen many professionals would have weaker results and anonymous would win different 1st places.

hmmmm ... but you are absolutely right ... !!! ... there are very big taxes in France ... apparently that's why poker players when they achieve some significant successes change their citizenship in order to avoid big taxes .... so the French players for poker tables of large tournaments are very few ... perhaps it's so
