2008 Partouche Poker Tour - Cannes Main Event

Poker's popularity in France is currently experiencing all-time highs and things are about to get even bigger as the most prolific poker tournament ever held on French soil looms just a few short hours from now.

The Partouche Poker Tour has quietly gained momentum throughout the year, awarding countless seats to its €8,500 buy-in Main Event, and several of the games top players will be on hand when the Palm Beach Club in Cannes, France opens its doors to an anticipated field of 350+ entrants, each with an eye on the €2,000,000 guaranteed prizepool.

Scotty Nguyen, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, David 'Chino' Rheem, Jeff Madsen, Evelyn Ng and Nenad Medic are just a few of the big names expected to play this week. Our live reporting team is on site and gearing up to bring you all of the action as it happens, from 'Shuffle up and deal' to the final hand. Coverage of the event begins at 3:00 p.m. local time (9:00 a.m. EST); you don't want to miss this!
