Preview of 2012 European Poker Tour DeauvilleEPT Returns To France For Season Eight |
|
The eighth stop of the European Poker Tour’s eighth season is set to kick off on January 31st at the EPT Deauville in France. The Casino Barrier will play host to a total of 35 events running through February 6th.
The centerpiece of the whole festival is the €5,000 EPT Deauville main event. The 2011 main event set a new record, attracting 891 players and generating a €4,276,800 prize pool. Frenchman Lucien Cohen topped the sizable field on his home turf, taking the title, the first prize of €880,000 and 1,920 Card Player Player of the Year points.
The 47-year-old was the first ever french winner of the EPT Deauville event. Cohen runs a pest control company in Paris, which explains why he is pictured with his company’s mascot, a plastic rat, which he used as a card protector on the way to capturing the title.
In addition to the main event, the series will also play host to a number of other sizable tournaments, including a €5,000 heads-up event, a €5,000 turbo six-max no-limit hold’em event, and a €10,000 high-roller event. Last year, 2010 WSOP Champion Jonathan Duhamel came out on top of a 58-player field in the €10,000 high roller, earning the first prize of $272,209.
