Ahhhh Yeah for Arnaud
By the by, as we head into the second level of the day, popular French Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern has lurched into the lead on 1.75 million.
As we mentioned yesterday, Mattern is the sole remaining EPT champion in the field - he took down the EPT Prague Main Event back in 2007 for over one million of your American dollars, and has been an extremely prominent and popular figure on the circuit ever since.
As we have so often reported, no-one has ever won two EPT titles before - but Mattern is running well and not missing a trick so far this week, and there is a distinct possibility that by the end of tomorrow Mattern will have a reason to celebrate twice as hard. Watch this space...
