Deauville, France, was the scene of a major poker tournament this weekend, as 434 players took part in the European Poker Tour's (EPT) French Open. The €4,000 buy-in main event took four days to complete, with an unknown Swede, Mats Iremark, taking home top prize money of €480,000 for his first place finish. In addition, Iremark won a seat at the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, worth €10,000, as well as free socialized health care for the rest of his life.
Some notable poker players who took part in the tournament included Marcel "The Flying Dutchman" Luske, Hendon "Mobster" Ram Vaswani, Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier, and 2004 World Series of Poker champion Greg "Fossilman" Raymer. Ironically, Raymer was the first poker player eliminated in the tournament, when he ran into pocket aces, which held up against his flopped flush draw. Luske was also eliminated relatively early, but Mercier and Vaswani had strong showings, making it to the final table where they were eliminated in seventh and fifth place, respectively.
