Neuville Going for Gold
Also among the runners today is self-styled "SerialPokerStarsQualifier" - and indeed officially PokerStars' Online Qualifier of the Year at the last EPT awards - Pierre Neuville. The last time that Mr. Neuville was in Vilamoura for an EPT, he came second for €257,681 - the crowning glory of an extraordinary Season 6 for the former toy magnate, in which he cashed in three Main Events and several side events. Neuville will presumably be looking to go one better than last year's result here this week, and we'll be keeping a close eye on him while he attempts to better his feat.
