Duval’s full-time job is studying for a Business degree at Université Laval, and he's just one session away from finishing up. In his spare time, though, he plays poker — live cash and online MTTs. At the prodding of his friend Yann Dion, Duval bought into a direct entry satellite for this tournament on PokerStars, and a win there allowed him to secure his seat and join Dion here at EPT Madrid. Four days later, he's sitting at the final table with a real shot at the trophy and some serious bragging rights back home. He'll begin the final day with 963,000 chips. It's his first ever event on the EPT circuit and the largest live tournament he's played. Duval also won the EPT Madrid Skrill Last Longer Contest.
