Castaignon in Command to Start Final Day at PokerStars.fr EPT Deauville Main Event
Welcome to Day 6, the final day of this year's PokerStars.fr European Poker Tour Deauville Main Event, where Frenchman Remi Castaignon carries a commanding lead to today's eight-handed final table.
A dominating Day 5 saw Castaignon knock out eight of the 15 players eliminated, including Cyril Andre (11th), Jean Pierre Petroli (10th), and Glen Cymbaluk (9th), to end the day with 9.9 million chips. That's getting close to three times what Walid Bou Habib has in second position, and also represents a little over 42% of the chips in play.
The preponderance of short stacks to begin Day 6 likely means we'll be seeing lots of action from the start today at the Casino Barrière de Deauville as the final chapters of the Season 9 EPT Deauville Main Event story are written. Scroll below for bios of all eight players at today's final table.
Join us at noon local time (CET) when play begins as we find out who among the 782 players who entered the event will be claiming the €770,000 first prize and title of EPT Champion.
