EPT San Remo
EPT SAN REMO
We'll be heading back to Italy sooner than normal in Season 8. EPT San Remo is breaking with tradition and being brought forward to an Autumn slot. The popular €4,900 event will be taking place at Casino Sanremo from October 21-27, 2011.
San Remo always attracts a huge field and Season 7 was no exception. British pro Rupert Elder bested a 988-strong field to take the title and giant first prize of €930,000. He beat Max Heinzelmann heads-up ... giving the young German pro back-to-back runner-up finishes.
SHAMBALLA JEWELS
In addition to their title and cash prize, the winner of all EPT Season 8 Main Events will receive a stunning bracelet from Shamballa Jewels, one of the most exclusive jewellery firms in the world. Owned by Mads and Mikkel Kornerup, Shamballa has existed since 2004 and is worn by numerous A-list celebrities around the world such as Jay-Z, Michael Jordan, Ashton Kutcher and many more. The beautiful jewellery is inspired by ancient traditions of Buddhism, meditation and yoga and designed for people who want to radiate individuality and exclusivity. Each bracelet is worth more than €10,000 and designed with black engraved ceramic balls, three 18k rhodanized white gold balls and one 10mm diamond pavé made on an 18k rose gold ball; each bracelet includes letters to denote the individual EPT event. The EPT8 Grand Final, champion’s bracelet is valued at around €25,000. This is Shamballa Jewels’ second season as the Official Bracelet Sponsor of EPT8 Main Events.
