Raúl Mestre's Epic Run at EPT Montecarlo 2026 Ends in Seventh Place


Raúl Mestre's journey at the EPT Montecarlo 2026 was nothing short of spectacular. Although he didn't win the tournament, his performance left a lasting impression on the poker community. Mestre finished in seventh place, earning €129,050. His elimination came after a crucial hand against Bernhard Binder, where Mestre's K9 was no match for Binder's AK.

Mestre's aggressive playstyle was a highlight of the tournament. He put pressure on high-level opponents like Leonard Maue and Ognyan Dimov, showcasing his skill and determination. His bold moves and strategic plays kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

Roman Stoica ultimately won the EPT Montecarlo 2026, defeating Bernhard Binder in the heads-up and earning €825,000. Stoica's victory capped off an impressive tournament, where he overcame a field of 1,011 entries to claim the title and the largest prize of his career.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
