WPT NATIONAL CANNES: KOOL SHEN RETURNS TO QJ/PTPR TOP 10, HEADED TO WSOP

It's good to be Bruno Lopes these days. Not only is Kool Shen known as a successful rap/hip hop performer and producer, he quite possibly could be the second best French poker player at the moment - we'll assume ElkY's status is still safe at the moment.

After winning the Euro Finals of Poker Diamond Championship back in February and then following that up with a fourth place finish at EPT Madrid (event won by Frederik "Brink" Jensen), Lopes has now secured his second championship of the 2012 season, winning the WPT National Series Cannes Main Event.




The win allows Lopes (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 7th) to re-enter the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard, powered by PTPRpoker. Lopes also made it known that he is coming to the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, attempting to take over the Rio this summer.

Fourth place finisher Robert Giordano (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-482nd) was third at the Partouche Nice Main Event in April.
