Mike McDonald Selling ETP Monte Carlo Action

Next time you see the photo of a happy poker winner with a pile of money, don't assume he or she will be buying a brand new yellow Lamborghini the next day (though this is exactly what @Mike McDonald did some years ago :) The bulk of the winner's earnings may actually go to his/her stakers.

Even though he is one of the top live winners in the world of poker, with earnings amounting to $10,079,058, Mike has been selling action in the 2+2 marketplace for the Monte Carlo 100,000k buy-in Super High Roller:

Hey, I'm selling off pieces for the MC super high roller. I'm going to lock in the exchange rate at 1.38130 and sell 1% for $1500 (1.086 MU).

Poker has been going great lately- I've final tabled my last 6 super high rollers, 2nd in PCA and in the last month recorded my biggest score on Stars for winning the Sunday 109r, and my biggest score on FTP for chopping the FTOPS ME.

I read there should be a plane full of Macau VIPs in this tournament as well as all the regular faces.

I'm looking to sell off pieces in 2% chunks or larger and for the time being am just selling for 1 bullet.

In 2008, barely 18 years old, he became the youngest person ever to win an EPT title - the German Open in Dortmund, which brought him $1,374,064. Now Mike McDonald jokingly tweeted he wants to go down in history as the first man to win a second EPT title (repeating the sensational feat accomplished by @Victoria Coren Mitchell at #EPTSanremo a few days ago).

The Super High Roller will run through April 24-26 and the 99th EPT Main Event - the Monte Carlo #EPTGrandFinal Season 10 - starts on Saturday, April 26th. Mike will be a key player in both and we wish him luck :)
