FPS EVIAN: DARCOURT, DE MEULDER IN CONTENTION AT EVIAN SNOWFEST

The France Poker Series has made it's way to the French Alpes for the series' inaugural FPS Evian Snowfest!

We have reached final day play in Evian and two name players are in the hunt, sitting in the middle of the final 13 pack as we will resume Sunday.

WSOP standout Guillaume Darcourt (2012 PTPR Rank: NR) and EPT Deauville side event winner Matthias De Meulder (2012 PTPR Rank: 47th) are both a double-up away from taking control of Snowfest - it should make for an interesting Sunday in the French Alpes.

Gilles Mellet has the chip lead while Thibaud Guenegou - who finished third at WPT Amneville last season - sits 10th in chips.
