If you’ve been dreaming of combining world-class poker with a bucket-list-worthy holiday, May is the perfect time to hit the tables — and the beach.

The PokerStars Open Monte Carlo is back, and it’s bringing the heat to the glitzy French Riviera. Hosted in one of the most iconic poker destinations in the world, this event blends high-energy poker with Monte Carlo’s legendary charm — think yachts, luxury hotels, and sweeping Mediterranean views.
