Final Table Bios: Seat 1 - Arnaud Mattern (328,000)
Hometown: Paris, France
Before taking up poker in 2004, Arnaud's main game was backgammon: in his own words, he ''crushed the tournament circuit and cash-games all around the world''. The switch to poker has been very successful, both live and online. He is known for his mathematical approach to the game and has been described as “disciplined, cold and calculating”. He first came to international attention when he took down the inaugural EPT Prague event last season for a massive € 708,400. Now playing in his 14th EPT, he is hoping to make history - as the first ever player to win two EPT titles.
