The EPT Deauville Main Event final table of six is set after four intensive days of play. Just like all previous days, Day 4 ended with a brand new chip leader. This time it was 30-year-old Dany Parlafes from Bucharest, Romania, who bagged 7,585,000 and the chip lead after an exciting day of poker. According to PokerStars Blog, Parlafes' trick to success has been.... eating hotdogs!

The chip leader seems to have a commanding lead in this tournament,I would love to be in his position at this stage,not a well known name but he has won a couple of live games so it would be a surprise if he failed to win. I just checked the leader board and Parlafes has 10million and the other 3 each have 2 million so still going strong.

I was playing the European poker tour live freeroll on Ppokerstars yesterday and finally I won something. I finished in place 600 or so and got nearly 50 cents. It was the last time for now and so far I had no luck in these tournaments.

This sounded like an epic heads up between the final two players,unfortunately Parlafes couldn't jump the final hurdle and after an exciting 117 hands the winner was the Bulgarian Ognyan Dimov who took the €543,000 first prize. A shame for Parlafes who was dominating for a long time on the final table but he still won an amazing 338k.
Are we sure this Benji guy isn't a long lost second rate cousin of Kevin Pollak, the talented american character actor who is a pretty decent poker player himself - bagging 50k on the WSOP a couple years ago? I wouldn't be surprised honestly if we could learn these two are related in some way.
