European Poker Tour Season 3 - EPT Deauville

  Whether you call it the EPT Deauville, the French Open, or "payday", there is no mistaking there's a draw to this penultimate stop on the European Poker Tour. As fans of the World Poker Tour Aviation Club stop are sure to tell you, there is something special about poker in France, and the EPT Deauville stop is sure to satisfy. Taking place in the Deauville Casino in the later half of February, the French Open will require participants to put up €5,000 for the chance to become an EPT champion, not to mention score a sizable payday.  February 21-24, 2007 are the dates to remember if you want to be in the beautiful seaside town of Deauville when the cards hit the air. February is coming sooner than you expect, so if you want to be one of the 500 lucky players (the max number for this event) you should get shaking now. The Casino Barriere de Deauville is the venue, and Rue Edmond Blanc is the person to talk to about details of the event - ring him up at +33 02 31 14 31 14. Don't expect to show up in a Full Tilt sports jersey when you play, however, as formal attire is required - but then what else would you expect of a tournament held in France? The minimum age to play is 18, and up for grabs in this event - in addition to the big pay off, is a seat in the grand finale event of the Eurpoean Poker Tour, to be held in Monte Carlo.Note: The event was cancelled by the EPT officials
