EPT DEAUVILLE: GOOD START TO THE YEAR CONTINUES FOR VISSER

PHOTO CREDIT/SOURCE: POKERSTARS.fr

It's been a good start to 2012 for Ruben Visser. Visser has accumulated over 400K in winnings in the first few weeks of the poker season. After finishing eighth at the PCA Main Event, Visser collected the win here in Deauville last week - in the 1K NLH Random Bounty Event.

Now Visser just picked up a huge chunk of change finishing second in the PokerStars.fr 10K NLH High Rollers Event. That cash out puts Visser (2011 PTPR Rank: 2090th) over the 1M mark for live tournament cashes on his career - very impressive!

The winner of the event was Eric Sfez (2011 PTPR Rank: NR). Sfez picked up the first win of his live tournament poker career - his first live cash dating back to 2005.

Samuel Chartier earned his second PTPR Score in as many days. Chartier (2011 PTPR Rank: 106th) now has 33 PTPR Points on the season, he finished 2011 with 141.

Finally, Mikhail Lakhitov also collected PTPR Points in this event. Lakhitov (2011 PTPR Rank: 52nd) won a braclet last summer in WSOP Event 36 - No Limit Holdem.
