Seat 7: Stephane Albertini, 28, Corsica - 3,555,000 chips | 2010 EPT Deauville

Albertini has been playing poker for the last 12 years or so, mainly in casinos and almost always cash rather than tournaments. He often comes along to EPTs but usually to play in the high stakes cash games that are are running at the same time as the tournaments. He has played in around six EPT main events but – until now – has never cashed. His best live tournament results have been in Marrakech in Morocco where he has cashed for sums around the €20,000 mark. He is being enthusiastically supported at EPT Deauville by a group of friends on the rail.
