The EPT's annual return to the elegant seaside resort of Deauville in Normandy is now well-established and will be taking place in Season 9 from January 30 - February 9, 2013. For this event the EPT has joined forces with the France Poker Series tour giving players an 10-day feast of poker in Deauville with nearly 40 different tourneys scheduled. The €1,100 FPS Main Event kicks off January 30, and the €5,300 EPT starts five days later on February 3.

Last season, the event again posted big numbers, attracting 889 players to the Casino de Deauville and generating a €4,267,200 prize pool. Vadim Kursevich from Belarus won the Season 8 event, taking the title for a first prize of €889,000 after besting the huge field.

In Season 9, the event will again be taking place in the spacious tournament area located in an annexe of Casino Barriere at The Deauville International Centre - located right on Deauville's beautiful beach and close to the town's premier hotels, shops, bars and restaurants.

T Kay gets a mention in this post. It's a good read.

Why does Tikay look younger now, than he did in 2005?

Good grief, what a great article. Brad writes so well, & we were good friends, but I have lost touch with him.

I became friends with Brandon at the time, & we still keep in touch.

Some water flowed under the bridges since then.   

It was the first time Elky had ever played live, & it showed.

"bookiebasher" (James Moult) won €35,000 in a Sidey, & promptly misplaced the lot. We travelled out together, Jim, Thewy, Bad Girl, Smokin Steve Vladar, Stu Fox, & Devilfish, who we bumped into in a coffee bar at Gare du Nord.

I arrived at the hotel & decided to have a pot of afternoon tea with Thewy. When the Waiter Bloke plonked a starched tablecloth on the Table, I knew it would cost me a bomb. €35 for a pot of tea, which was just hot water, with the tea bag seperate!

Roland de Wolfe was working for Cardoza, who were book publishers, but he was gagging to be a player. He wore a smart pin-striped suit, dark blue, with white trainers, no laces.

Camel was there, with Kath & Jake, Jake had just been born.

I won a hand v Camel, the last time I ever did. Think I had A-4. Ace-rag, tut tut, it was NOT done in those days.

I exited the EPT Main in disgraceful fashion, 17th I think, making a complete pigs ear of a hand when my Final Table place was as near as damn locked up.

Jeez, I must stop reminiscing.

I love you.

in for 1b

Jake was born in September 2005, his first poker trip was Deauville 2006.

It's easy for an old fella to get his years mixed up, so I forgive you.

Definitely don't remember you winning a pot from me.

Great write up Tony.

Officially it was 53000 euro but we did a deal because Willie Tann wanted to spend his
winnings before the casino shut ;)

Lol at Roland De Wolfe's attire and you never stopped going on about that pot of tea.

I left all my winnings with you and Thewy because my hotel was across the square.

Obviously if I had my time again I would have at least done the balla thing of rubbing it
on my titties first.

Oh the mammories.....

loooool
 

:)up

The only EPT main event I've ever played...

And the only time I've had the "pleasure" of sharing a poker table with Mr Kendall.

I can confirm that ElkY was not great at the pokerz back then. In fact (humble brag alert), I busted him from the tournament. Yes, that's how bad he was!

Where's Luca Pagano?

Herbie will love Gordon Huntly's Hendon Mob, heard he is going to be doing the euro circuit now as opposed to the asian tours he appears to smash up!

ohhh str8 on it now

Nice Asian flags. Hey maybe you can help me a Chinese kid that used to live in Hull and spend 24/7 in the casino recently got deported and had turned up in Maccu. What is the currency because he told me he won a pot for 500k RMB which is meant to be about £60k

I hope Tobias Wenker bashes them all up.

lol too good Ralph

gowwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the squid!

one time luke reeves!

probably Chinese Yuan Renminbi   

Yeah rmb is renminbi which used to be about 12-1 when I used them a lot so seems about right.......

Yeah looked in up and you are correct Taxi and Red. The lad concerned won a deepstack at Dtd and they paid his winnings into his online account. He obv had no bank account and thought he would just play his mate heads up and pass all the money over to his mate to withdraw. God knows what they would have lost in rake had the software not caught up with them before they had even swopped £7k. :)

gl Luke

Should there be a sweat thread for Sam Grafton aka 'the squid'? Top all round chap, occasional poster here, and currently lying 3rd in chips going into day 4 :D

gl Sammy

I heard a lot of the hull lot don't play much now which is a shame

frankie, billy, jimmy gone back to china. Alan tam got married and is off to Canada. Sean Tattoo up in York, couple of older perverts went to Thailand. Usual suspects still there on the DC...... Same fallings out amongst friends who won't do savers :)

Sam interviewed for pokr news, lolz.

Good luck to Sam and Mitchell today

Spinks shipped the "John eames invitational" for 140k, then gets a lift home with John eames! Go figure!

And nice score sir!

EPT Live with James H and Stapes on now

Should be a good watch today

http://www.pokerstars.tv/poker-video-5156-eptlive.html

 Is it me or have the changes to the Pokerstarsblog site made it impossible to read the coverage and made the site generally terrible and annoying?

Found it easy enough so far but doesn't seem to have changed much for me.

Stars updates have always been a nightmare to navigate. Always easier to come on here.

Yeah I am liking Gordon Huntly a lot.

I had first hand experience of James when he won the Irish Open. Has to be one of the favourites here.
