World Poker Tour in Paris attracts record attendance

World Poker Tour attracts record crowd for Aviation Club de France (ACF), the leading Parisian poker salon. Lakes Entertainment, engaged in organization of the tournament, announced that 205 players registered for World Poker Tour. This figure more than doubled 96 players who played last year.

ACF's Manager of Poker Operations, Bruno Fitoussi, was cited by Home.businesswire.com as saying that the Aviation Club introduced the largest prize pool in European poker history - 2,050,000 Euros (US$2,550,491.85 ) for its 'Grand Prix de Paris'. The first place finisher will take home nearly $850,000.

Poker fans will be able to see the final table action when the show airs as part of the 15-tour stop series on the Travel Channel.

The WPT in Paris features different poker players from around the world. The famous participants are Christer Johannsson and David Benyamine, two previous champions and WPT stars such as Erik Lindgren (U.S.), Martin De Knijff (Sweden), Gus Hansen (Denmark), Howard Lederer, Carlos Mortenson (Spain), Mel Judah, David "Devilfish" Ulliott (U.K.), and Daniel Negreanu (Canada). French mega-celebrity Patrick Bruel and great  tennis sportsman Yevgeny Kafelnikov also join the event.

Other top players include TJ Cloutier, John Juanda, Phil Ivey, Scotty Nguyen, Farzad "Freddy" Bonyadi, Sami Farha, and the most recent World Champion - Greg "Fossilman" Raymer.
