Former Winners Present

In no McFlurry
In no McFlurry
The Hilton is currently brimming with former EPT winners today, a number of which have already been located. One of the most recent is Michael Martin, who triumphed in London just several weeks ago. The last time we met was over a McFlurry in McDonalds. The following day one of us was a millionaire, and unfortunately for my girlfriend, it wasn't me.

A couple of tables down is defending champion Arnuad Mattern. Looking cooler than the Fonzarelli in a refrigerator, Mattern has suffered a slight hit during this opening level with 7,500 in chips. At first I was braced to blame his supposedly lucky card protector presented in the form of a jar of honey, before I learned that it wasn't a card protector at all, rather a one off appearance to nurture a sore throat. Still, if he wins this event, then the honey will surely be making more appearances than in a Winnie the Pooh film.
