EPT CAMPIONE: OOH LA LA - SOULIER, BUSQUET LEAD AS FT PLAY IS UNDERWAY

PICTURE: POKERSTARS

Final Table Play is underway in Campione and soon we will find out who our latest Champion will be on the European Poker Tour.

EPT Campione's final table is headlined by two men with French names - only one is actually French - as star players Fabrice Soulier and Olivier Busquet hope to secure their first Main Event title on the EPT.

Soulier's (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) poker career is illustrious for sure. He's spent over 10 years on the circuit and secured his first WSOP bracelet this past summer, winning the 10K H.O.R.S.E. Championship. Soulier is chip leader and it doesn't seem as if he any plans to give it away.

For Busquet, it's been a crazy twelve months. The man who makes - for the most part - his living playing online poker in New York City, had to relocate to Canada in order to continue the on line grind.

Busquet (2012 PTPR Rank: 620th) has also continued his trek on the live tournament poker circuit and has been doing well for himself. Busquet won the Borgata Poker Open back in 2009.

Jannick Wrang, Balazs Botond, Koen De Visscher, Stefano Puccilli, Mario Nagel and Robin Ylitalo will all be collecting their first PTPR Scores of 2012.
