Après 4 longs jours de jeu et 479 éliminations, Alain Roy a remporté la finale du Partouche Poker Tour à Cannes dimanche dernier.
La finale, qui conclut 10 mois de tournois, était retransmise live sur Internet et son prizepool avait attiré les pros internationaux : Gus Hansen, David Rheem, Phil Ivey, David Williams, Scotty Nguyen, Tiffany Michelle et Antonio Esfandiari avaient fait le déplacement pour cette grand finale. Bien que jusqu'au troisième jour Gus Hansen, l'un des meilleurs joueurs mondiaux, était considéré comme le favori pour gagner ce tournoi, il s'est retrouvé éliminé à la bulle. Notre gagnant, lui, a suivi à la perfection le parcours satellite pour en arriver là. Il s'est qualifié dans un tournoi satellite à 125€ qui lui a permet d'accéder à un super-satellite de 1075€ et de remporter une place pour le tournoi de Cannes.Alain Roy a reçu son premier prix de 1.000.000€ des mains d'Eric Cantona. Claudio Rinahrdi, arrivé second, a reçu 511.000€, Anthonin Tesseire, le troisième, 335.000€, et Stéphane Bazin, le quatrième du tournoi, qui avait sorti Gus Hansen à la fin du jour 3, 225.500€.
