We continue with monster fields at Main Events around the whole world! This time, we stop in France for EPT Deauville ... almost 900 runners in this event!!
Amongst the leaders as we head into Day 2 are "the former man of mystery" Viktor Blom (otherwise known as Isildur1) and one of my idols growing up - French singer/actor Patrick Bruel. I was a kid when I found out that Bruel would spend time in Vegas and had won big tournaments - this was the first I had ever heard of poker tournaments ... we're talking in the late 80's, early 90's folks, pre-internet, pre-ESPN airing 400 episodes a year, pre-Rounders, pre-Annette even being born!
Bruel won a bracelet in Limit Hold'em at the 1998 World Series.
Unofficial chip counts available at the end of this post...
The winner of the event will receive 133 PTPR Points.
