Fifth Place For UK Poker Player At EPT High Roller

EPT Monte Carlo High Roller EventThe very term “high roller” carries an air about it that sees many people gasp or look on with a greater level of awe and wonder. To be honest, it doesn’t actually mean that every poker player is better; it usually just means that they have more money to throw at the game. The poker players who have worked their up to the High Roller level through earning money via their poker skills are definitely worthy of inclusion but some folk will find their money in other places and get involved from there.

In saying that, it takes a lot of nerve to out your money where your mouth is in these events so there is a huge deal of excitement involved in these events. There is a chance for a life-changing amount of money to be won and of course, if you are paying a huge buy-in figure and continually miss out on any cash return, the time will come rather quickly when there is no real point in playing in the High Roller events.

A High Roller event in Monte Carlo is living the dream

This is not the outcome for one talented UK poker player who managed to grab fifth place at the recent High Roller event at the EPT Monte Carlo. The thought of playing in a High Roller event would be a big draw for some people whereas the notion of playing in Monte Carlo would be a huge draw for some other players. This is why any event that manages to bring them both together is definitely going to be something that poker players really love.

Toby LewisToby Lewis was the lucky Brit who managed to take fifth position and for his trouble, he managed to earn €232,400. This is an amount of money that most of us would settle on for playing a few hands of poker! Toby may feel bad about only finishing fifth in the big poker event, especially when the fact that the tournament winner Steven Silverman picked up more than €775,000 but you can’t always judge yourself on what other people are doing. The top prize indicates the sort of money that was being played for and it is worth pointing out that there was an agreed split between the top three players. The players coming in second and third, Anthony Gregg and Fadar Kamar both earned €760,000 each!
