The PokerStars.net European Poker Tour Deauville was a success all around. Despite other major tournaments taking place at the same time, the field was the biggest of this season (excluding the PCA which took place in the Bahamas). 645 players came together this week, and more than half the field was made of local produce - French players galore.
As the television set is being taken down and the high roller event gets down to the business end of things - with Bertrand Grospellier and Isabelle Mercier present - Moritz Kranich is heading to the bar for a "couple of beers". Of those who haven't already flown to their next destination, some will be joining him in celebration, and some, perhaps, to drown their sorrows.
The next event will take place on Feb. 17 and run until 21 in Copenhagen. This will be hard to beat but with all the Danish players in tow, and many prodigal players returning to the EPT from places like Australia and the U.S., it should make for one explosive event.
Card Player will be there as usual, following all the action as it happens, and delivering it to you right here.
