Seat 8: Stephane Girault (664,000)
One of three Frenchman at the final table, the 36-year-old Stephane Girault, who qualified for this Main Event through a Barri��re qualifier, does commercial framework by trade in Paris. That's not to say he doesn't have poker experience; on the contrary, Girault has a couple of local results including a win in the �750 Pot Limit Omaha at Trophees Haussmann in Paris for $14,655 and sixth in the 2012 Barriere Poker Tour �1,350 No Limit Hold'em Main Event in Enghien-les-Bains, Enghien for $20,876.
Needless to say, no matter where Girault finished today, it'll be the largest score of his career.
