Leon Sturm dominierte den Finaltag bei den € 1.650 PokerStars Open der PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte-Carlo 2026 im Sporting Monte-Carlo, am Ende konnte sich aber Joris Ruijs durchsetzen und nach einem Heads-up Deal über € 317.308 jubeln.
Fast wäre die Sensation perfekt gewesen. Nur 17 der 1.634 Entries (857/777) waren in Tag 3 gegangen, Leon Sturm lag als letzter Deutscher auf Rang 4. Alle hatten bereits ein Preisgeld von € 15.120 sicher, der Sieger konnte sich auf € 365.000 freuen. Und lange Zeit sah es so aus, als würde Leon Sturm der Sieger sein. Der anfängliche Chipleader Andrii Gorshokov verpasste den Final Tagle (10/€ 26.080), den Leon Sturm als klarer Chipleader anführte.
Bis man noch zu dritt war, schienen alle Zeichen auf einen Sieg von Leon zu stehen. Dann aber kam die Zeit von Joris Ruijs, der sich als Shortstack nach vorne kämpfte. Nachdem Julien Bolimowski als letzter Franzose auf Rang 3 (€ 162.360) ausgeschieden war, saßen nun Joris Ruijs und Leon Sturm im Heads-up. Die beiden einigten sich auf einen Deal und spielten noch einen Rest aus. Und es war die Zeit von Joris Ruijs. Er konnte sich 
gegen 
den Sieg holen und jubelte über € 317.398, Leon Sturm blieben € 275.042.
