La bataille aura été rude lors de la table finale de ce nouvel EPT San Remo. Il faut dire que l’édition de cette année n’aura pas ressemblée aux précédentes : field moins important (987 joueurs au total, soit plus d’un tiers du field en moins que l’année dernière), avec une présence italienne en masse qui ne se sera pas fait ressentir en finale puisque les 4 premiers sortants étaient des joueurs du cru et, conséquence logique, niveau incroyablement technique lors de l’affrontement final.

Réduite à 4 joueurs, la table finale a enfin pu atteindre de très hauts niveaux techniques de poker. C’était d’autant plus appréciable que l’EPT avait eu la bonne idée de retransmettre en live avec les hole-cards toute la TF, ce qui a permis au monde entier d’apprécier le très beau jeu des quatre derniers combattants : Max Lykov, solide comme jamais ; Xuan Liu, revenue des enfers et auteure d’une finale brillante ; Max Heinzelmann, qui a loupé la victoire de très peu ; Rupert Elder, un jeune Anglais qui n’aura rien laissé à ses adversaires…

Au final, un très beau tournoi qui s’achève, avant la Grande Finale de l’European Poker Tour, dans quelques jours à Madrid. On devrait retrouver tout ce que le poker compte de grands noms et un contingent français qui a soif de victoire…
