Supernova Elite is highly sought after due to the tournament packages that qualifying tournament players receive as PokerStars rakeback. Many choose to play the EPT, a series of prestigious events hosted by PokerStars in Europe. The EPT Grand Final usually takes place in Monte Carlo, but 2025's event will take place in Madrid, instead.

Madrid is the capital and also the largest city in Spain. When asked why the Grand Final was moved out of Monte Carlo for the first time ever, John Duthie (EPT chief executive) said that they were searching for something "new, dynamic and inspiring." He believes that Madrid not only produces several of its own poker players, it is additionally a great place to visit for tourists and traveling poker players. He also believes that it is possible for people of all ages to enjoy Madrid.

The Grand Final series starts on May 5th with the High Roller event. The Main Event takes place on May seventh, although Day 1B is on May 8th. Because Day 3 of the High Roller event takes place on the 7th, those making the final table of the €25,500 event will have to play on Day 1B. If you do not usually play on money poker sites and therefore have a small bankroll, you can play a Super Satellite for the Main Event. The satellite's buy-in is €500 + €50. The Main Event's buy-in is €10.6k.

If you bust the Main Event early, you will still be able to participate in a number of side events. On May 9th there are a couple of 2-day events for €5,250 and €1,100. There is a €5,250 heads-up tournament the day after these 2-day tournaments, and you can play a fun NLH/PLO tournament featuring bounties on May 11th.

PokerStars has focused a lot of their recent marketing on women recently, and so it seems fitting that the Grand Final also features a ladies event. This €500 + €50 tournament is a 1-day event taking place on May 11th. You can play a satellite for the event for €100 + €10 on the 10th if €550 is too much. If you just started playing poker but want to participate in the ladies tournament, it it could benefit you to get an instructional poker video prior to traveling to Europe.

You can also satellite into Grand Final events on PokerStars. You can win a Main Event package for as little as €3.33 this way. The package includes your seat, hotel accommodations, and cash for expenses. There are also women's event packages to win, although the ladies package does not include accommodations.
