With the start of the Main Event just 45 minutes away check out our look at some facts and figures that you might not have known about the 110 EPT winners.

11am: The Main Event set to begin

After four days of the EPT12 Grand Final festival we have reached the opening day of the Main Event. if the queues outside the tournament room this week are any indicator we can expect a big field over the next two days. As well as professional and EPT regulars are more than 300 Spin and Go qualifiers making their way to the Salle des Etoile for what will be a melting pot of poker. Whatever happens it will be a compelling week of poker. 

It all starts today at 12 noon when the first Day 1 flight gets started. We'll have live updates on the PokerStars Blog through the end of play at around midnight tonight. Furthermore it's not the only event from which we'll be reporting today. The Super High Roller reached its final table last which plays out today on EPT Live. Play starts there at 1pm with EPT Live's coverage shown on a one hour delay from 2pm. Of course, we'll have live updates here to go with it. -- SB
