Seat 6: Maxime Villemure, 19, Montreal, Quebec, Canada �C 1,206,000 chips

Despite suffering a fever for the last few days, Max has been forging ahead at the EPT Grand Final �C encouraged by the knowledge that Gavin Griffin won last year despite having a really bad cold. Max took up poker just over a year ago after watching the WSOP on television. Home games with his friends turned into online play and within a short time he was doing so well, he gave up his law studies to play full-time. This is Max��s third EPT �C he busted out of the PCA on Day 2, and San Remo on Day 1. It��s also his first time in Europe. He said: ��It��s great �C but rather expensive.�� He is being supported here in Monte Carlo by his friends Jason Mercier (who won EPT San Remo two weeks ago) and Sam Chartier.
