Caesars closed the poker room at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas in 2021, but it finally returned four years later. Planet Hollywood's swanky new poker room had its official reopening last weekend. There are now 23 tables available in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd. and located across the street from the Aria and Cosmopolitan and City Center property.
Russia's Aleksandr Shevliakov won an online qualifier via PokerStars and parlayed his €530 satellite seat into €1,000,000 when he won the 2025 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event. The €5,300 buy-in Main Event was the second-largest field in history with 1,195 total entries. The prize pool was a smidge under €5.8 million with a cool million set aside for the champion. Shevliakov defeated Khossein Kokhestani heads-up for the title. The final table also included Boris Angelov, Enrico Coppola, Mariusz Golinski, and Jamil Wakil.
