It took over 300 hands, nearly 18 hours of play, and seven eliminations, but the 2014 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €10,600 Main Event has finally come to a close. Capturing the title and the massive €1.24 million top prize was Italy's Antonio Buonanno — the only player at the final table not to qualify for the event online.

On the final hand, Buonanno raised with the 
and Salter shoved with the 
. Buonanno called and held as the board ran out a rather uneventful 
.
