The European Poker Tour Monte Carlo has crowned Norway’s Jon Kyte as the champion of the record-breaking PokerStars Open Main Event. Formerly known as the European Poker Tour, the series has now been rebranded as the PokerStars Open, and Kyte is the newest champion under the new banner.
For his victory, Kyte pocketed an impressive $387,376, bringing his total live earnings past $3.2 million. The rebranding has certainly paid off for PokerStars, as this year’s Main Event attracted a record-breaking 2,387 entries at a €1,100 buy-in—eclipsing the previous record of 2,138 entries set in 2023.
The massive turnout at the Sporting Monte Carlo generated a total prize pool of €2,291,520 (approximately $2.6 million), which was distributed among the top 358 finishers. Here is a quick recap of the PokerStars Open Monte Carlo Main Event Final table, along with the payouts.
