Russians, Americans & French Dominate Grand Final Field
As in previous years, Russian, American and French players have dominated entries to the Season 10 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final. Although there are slightly more Russians here, there isn’t much in it: there were 69 players from Russia in the Main Event, 65 from the States and 64 from France – together accounting for 34% of the field. However there are another 20 players hailing from Belarus and Ukraine which explains why every other player seems to be speaking Russian!
There are also considerably more nationalities represented than last year – 68 compared to 56, with an influx of new players from Asia (China, Hong Kong and Malaysia) having a big impact on the whole event. As the PokerStars Blog reveals, several Asian players were here specially to compete in the €100k Super High Roller but they brought a large entourage of friends with them who have been getting involved in tournaments and cash games all over the place.
