EPT GRAND FINAL: REMEMBER ME? POPULAR "THE BIG GAME" CONTESTANT LEADS MONTE CARLO

PICTURE: POKERSTARS (Neil Stoddart)

Massimiliano "Max" Martinez certainly stirred things up when he participated in the PokerStars show "The Big Game" as the "loose cannon" a while back. Martinez seemed to be able to read Phil Hellmuth's soul and was playing so well, he was getting major props from his fellow poker peers at the table.

Martinez certainly hasn't rested on his laurels since appearing on the "The Big Game", he is the chip leader heading into Day 3 at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo. Martinez is coming into Saturday's play with 456K in chips.


Trailing Martinez is American pro Mohsin Charania, who has 413K chips.

Some guy named Erik Seidel is currently third in chips, it will be interesting to see what Seidel does on Day 3 Saturday. After a very successful 2011 season, Seidel has been a little slow out of the gates in 2012.
