PokerStars is in Monte Carlo for the latest edition of the European Poker Tour (EPT), but players stuck at home will not be left out of the fun. The Red Spade is throwing an online party for viewers of the EPT Monte Carlo livestream with more than $250k guaranteed and low-stakes buy-ins.
There are 21 reasonably priced games in the Mini EPT Monte Carlo series starting April 20 with guarantees as high as $40k for individual events. There are two games with $40k guaranteed, but six more events with five-figure guarantees.
With buy-ins ranging from $0.55 to $55, PokerStars has built a very affordable series for smaller bankrolls. The median buy-in across the 21 events is $3.30, and the $3.30 Deep Stack on May 1 with $10k guaranteed is the second-best value game in the whole series.

There will be millions on offer on the live felt in Monte Carlo over the next couple of weeks, but players stuck at home will have their shot at the prizes, too. While the live action is ongoing, PokerStars is running the Mini EPT Monte Carlo series with $256,000 guaranteed across 21 events.
The main event will be the biggest guarantee and best value of the whole series, running on May 6. For just $5.50, players will be playing for $40,000 guaranteed, for a value of $7,272.73 for every dollar of buy-in ($Gtd/$Buy-In).
