EPT Deauville thread

[TightEnd]

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.

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.

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.....

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!
