The first ever PokerStars Championship WPT MonteDam Swing begins with PokerStars Championship, presented by the Monte Carlo Casino, taking place from 25 April to 5 May, and concludes with WPT Amsterdam from 5-13 May.
"Both PokerStars and the World Poker
Tour are committed to growing the game of poker, and the PokerStars
Championship WPT MonteDam Swing was developed to benefit players competing at
both PokerStars Championship Monte Carlo and WPT Amsterdam," said Edgar
Stuchly, PokerStars Director of Live Events.
"This exciting partnership allows players a natural transition from one
world-class festival to another, and we encourage our players to head to WPT Amsterdam
following their time in Monte Carlo," Stuchly added.
"For many years, PokerStars and the World Poker Tour have collaborated
behind the scenes to ensure the scheduling of our major events is done in the
best interest of the players," said Adam Pliska, CEO of the World Poker
Tour.
"We are proud to take the collaboration a step further with the creation
of the PokerStars Championship WPT MonteDam Swing, and we welcome all players
to kick off a spectacular three weeks of poker by attending PokerStars
Championship Monte Carlo starting 25 April," Pliska also commented.
In addition to competing in two world-class
poker events, with a total of €32.5 million in anticipated prize pools across
both, players will now be eligible to earn additional prizes from the
PokerStars Championship WPT MonteDam Swing.
