The field is down to the final 24, with a number of top-notch crushers still in. Watch the live stream here!
The €5,300 Main Event of this year's EPT Monte-Carlo is well underway with only 24 players remaining of the original field. The final three tables are made up of world-class professionals and world-class beauties.

Melika is surrounded with real heavyweights as the two biggest stacks belong to Manig Löser (3,685,000) and Timothy Adams (2,475,000), while right behind Melika is Wiktor "Limitless" Malinowski (1,940,000) and Viktor "Katz0r" Katzenberger (1,825,000), who are both feared high-stakes cash game specialist on PokerStars.

All of the remaining field is guaranteed at least a €23K payday, but the €827,700 top prize looks just a little nicer. Watch the action live here:
