The EPT Grand Final attracted a record field of 842 players creating a total prize pool of over EUR8.4 million (US$12m): the richest prize pool in the world for a poker tournament this year.
Canadian Max Villemure, 19, from Montreal, finished 3rd. Isaac “westmenloAA” Baron - Cardplayer’s Online Player of the Year in 2007 - came 4th. Italian Luca Pagano, a Team PokerStars Pro, registered record ninth EPT cash after finishing 6th.

Season 4 has taken in 11 amazing destinations including new events in Prague in the Czech Republic (555 players) and San Remo in Italy (701 players). The season has seen player numbers and prize pools soar, and also the number of nationalities taking part - 48 in Monte Carlo, more than 70 during the season as a whole.
EPTLive.com providing a live webcast of the action on the final two days - also saw record audience numbers.

Canadian Gaming Association claims gambling is “Canada’s largest and most financially significant entertainment industry.”
Gambling is Canadian’s favorite entertainment, according to a report by the Canadian Gaming Association released this week which claims that the pastime is: “Canada’s largest and most financially significant entertainment industry.” It accounts for 267 000 full-time jobs and contributes Cdn$15.3-billion a year to the economy.
The industry group’s latest report is based on 2006 data and reveals that 57 percent of gambling revenue - Cdn$8.7-billion - supports government services and charities. The other $6.6-billion “…was spent to sustain operations, paid out as salaries, and used to purchase goods and services.”
Canadian Press says that the gaming association’s research, described as the most comprehensive study ever conducted on the economic impact of gaming in Canada, found 135 000 people are directly employed in the industry, and indirect gambling-related employment such as food and entertainment services swells the total to 267 000 full-time jobs. For 2006, this translated into Cdn$11.6-billion in labor income, the association says.
“Gaming has grown significantly over the past decade to become an essential pillar of the entertainment industry in Canada,” association president Bill Rutsey said. “It is now demonstrably clear how the majority of spending in the industry goes directly back to Canadians in the form of paycheques, construction in communities, and revenues for the programs and services and charities that we value.”

A Woodbridge, Ontario, woman got a $9-million nest egg this Easter.
Anna Falco, 53, hit the jackpot at Canadian Casino Rama just before midnight Saturday, setting a record for the largest slot payout in Canadian history at exactly $8,920,622.89.
The housewife, who’s been going to the Orillia-area casino with her husband Franco for about 10 years, had been playing the Megabucks slot machine for an hour, spending about $200, when the bells and whistles started to ring.
“When we called our two daughters to share the good news, they thought we were kidding,” an emotional Falco told casino officials as she collected her super-sized cheque.
The couple plans to share their winnings with family and friends.
The nearly $9-million jackpot is also the largest win in Rama’s history, a casino spokesman said.
The previous Canadian record slot win was in October 2004 when a Toronto tax accountant won nearly $5.8 million after spending $60 on a Megabucks progressive slot machine at Niagara’s Fallsview casino.
Megabucks is a slot machine system linking 11 Ontario casinos to escalating jackpots. The jackpots begin at $1 million and continue to climb until someone at one of the 11 casinos hits the winning combination.
