Seat 1: Imad Derwiche, France, 465,000

Derwiche returns to the overall table of the €25K EPT Grand Final for a second-straight year here in Monaco, with the Frenchman this time hoping to do one better than his runner-up finish to Charlie Carrell a year ago. Derwiche earned a fab €750,000 for that finish, an amount representing about two-thirds of his career tournament earnings of $1.23 million.

Seat 2: Alexandros Kolonias, Greece, 1,445,000

Greek player Kolonias has only a few live scores on his tournament résumé, the most important previous coming within the $25K High Roller on the 2015 PCA where he finished 39th. His only other recorded final table was in a €1K event in a Greek Poker Cup series in Loutraki, so he'll hope to make a primary one here. Meanwhile online he's racked up numerous accomplishments, including earning a SCOOP title in 2014 in a $530+R six-handed NLHE event.

Seat 3: Zvi Stern, Israel, 1,485,000

Stern is a 37-year-old poker pro from Israel best known for his November Nine appearance in last fall's 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event where he ultimately finished fifth for a $1,911,423 prize. That represents the majority of his just over $2 million in career tourney earnings, adequate for second all-time among Israeli players behind his fellow November Niner Amir Lehavot.

Seat 5: Alexandru Papazian, Romania, 1,710,000

Hailing from Romania, Papazian has earned a bit under $200K lifetime in tournaments thus far, including a few cashes here in Monaco. Last week he made the cash within the €10K High Roller where he finished 19th, and has already ensured a deeper run and larger payday on this one, regardless of where he finishes.

Seat 6: Max Silver, UK, 2,725,000

British pro Silver has a UKIPT Dublin title under his belt, numerous WSOP and EPT cashes, and greater than $2.3 million in total tournament earnings since 2010. The 25-year-old made the cash a few times here in Monaco in this festival, including a profit the primary Event where he finished 146th. Two near-misses in high rollers, though, mean he'll feel free to assert a kind of eye-popping prizes up top here, particularly the €1,197,000 one awaiting the winner.
