With a star-studded lineup featuring one of the poker world’s top young talents the 2011 Partouche Poker tour has erased most of the memory of last year’s controversial 2010 final table that saw Ali Tekintamgac disqualified from the tournament just prior to the final table getting underway.

Once again the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event final table will use a WSOP-style format, taking an extended break of six weeks before resuming on November 12^th, 2011. The nine remaining players will be battling for one of the biggest tournament prizes of the year, a €1,000,000 first-place prize, with the 9^th place finisher taking home €100,000.

The final table participants include UK sensation and Titan Poker pro Sam Trickett, French poker pro Roger Hairabedian who will add to his $2.6 million in career tournament winnings, and one of the four Ukrainian poker players who won a bracelet during the 2011 WSOP Oleksii Kovalchuk.

When the tournament resumes in November it will be Trickett in the driver seat, raking a slight chip-lead into the final table. Here is a look at the complete final table chip counts and seating assignments for the 2011 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event:

• Seat 1:  Alexander Dovzhenko – 944,000
