Title: Last Nights 500 Pot Limit Omaha, Paris
Post by: Mrs C on July 20, 2005, 12:31:26 PM
El Blondie pulls through finaly in unlikely circumstances in the 500 PLO last night in Paris, with 57 runners.

After 7 weeks of bad beats and terrible luck in Las Vegas, Dave flys into Paris for the Pot Limit Omaha with flu, fatigue and jet lag.
Reaching the dinner break losing a big pot and almost out the comp, only to come back and get smacked in the face by a deck of cards and claim victory for the 1st prize of 24000!!

DC is not in the US so he has a good chance at this WPT, but wait a minute!!! I did not come all the way from Florida to lay down at the WPT, DC will need to beat my 4/7 before there is any talk of anyone taking down :my WPT: ;D ;D

Looks like next week's Paris WPT is coming to the boil nicely.

If Bruno gives permission - & we have asked him EVER so nicely - blonde will try & carry a Live Update from Paris.

I wont have a word said against the French, never have dione.

where will you put your stuff tikay? lol its a tiny place lol,

mind u if it gets as many runners as last time you be ok lol,  seriously though are they expecting decent numbers this time?

we went over for the last but 1 event and the numbers were tiny,  27ish for the omaha 40-50 for the main event, tiny amounts of pepole,   cash games hotted up a little but nothing like what i expected, if it wasnt for the online sites the main event would of had 30-35 pepole lol,

i wish you and el blondie good luck there,

i hope you been there before also btw,   it took us nearly 5 hours to find the front door!!! lol

Well there was a Paris Festival 6 months or so ago that had awful numbers, in january I think, but next week, for the WPT, there will be plenty, in fact the WPT has a "double" opening day, Monday & Tuesday.

For the Rendezvous Festival in Paris so far, the numbers hve been much better than January, 71, 65, 132, 98 & 57, the last being for the E500 Omaha, so decent numbers. For the WPT, I'd be surprised if there were not 300-400. I'd like to play it - love to in fact, the WPT is an ambition of mine - but it's a choice between there, & the 5k at The Vic, so I will probably opt for the latter - may even try & win a seat online, I think Blue Square have a satellite tomorrow.

It is small, as you say, but we don't needa lot of room. I don't know yet if Jen is coming - though I hope she is - but we need Bruno's "yes" first, then we'll sort it out.

As to finding the front door - I'm surprised you say that - it's one of the easiest to find I've ever been to. Go to the Arc, turn right, 200 yards on the left, on the Champs Elysses. Now THATS a posy address!

I actually love the Aviation & Paris, one of my favourite venues, despite the French seeming to think they own the place.
