Not far from the Monte Carlo Bay Resort and Hotel where the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT Grand Final 78-event festival is playing out is “The Champions Promenade” celebrating the world’s greatest footballers. Players represented have all figuratively left their mark on the game as winners of the prestigious Golden Foot award — and they’ve literally left their mark, too, with their footprints left along the seafront walk.
Among many other things, the PokerStars Blog is also a kind of virtual promenade of champions as we continually chronicle here poker winners both online and live. And as a new day has already begun here at the EPT11 Grand Final, it’s time again to cast into words and pictures the latest winners here in Monaco. Take a walk with us as we do…
