Didn't mean to add the extra line, should have previewed before posting.

Epilogue to the WPT in Paris.
As was reported I was eliminated in the same hand as Carlos on the bubble. To set the record straight there was no deal. Carlos said to me, as we shook hands, if he won the hand he was through, if I won the hand I was through and if we both went out we would share the euros. The tournament director, Andre, confirmed this to me before I left the Club for some refreshment. This is the ruling in the Aviation Club. Upon returning later I was told that I had finished 19th as I had less chips, which was the case. These are the WPT rules. C'est la vie.
The next morning Carlos phoned me and asked me to meet him at the Place du Victoire. He explained how he was surprised to collect the 15k when he went to the cashier's counter and how he thought they were playing under French rules. He then handed me an envelope in which he said was half the prize money.
This was an absolutely amazing gesture on his part and I just wanted to make sure this was recognised on your forum.

This was his understanding under the Aviation Club rules.

message from van gogh...he's good at painting but he can't add up.....thought he had carlos covered but obviously he didn't..thanks to jennifer, tikay and the dealer for sorting it out...there was no deal but apparently under french rules if 2 players go out at the same time they split the pot...we were playing wpt rules....we lost on points to a home town decision!....moral of the story is if some danny de vito look-a-like says u have just won 7 grand get to the payout counter quick and don't nip round the corner for a few beers.....no probs  this end, we came to win so 19th was as bad as second.....good luck roland, it was great playing  against you....you have added a new dimension to van gogh's game.

hi, just to set the record strraight...carlos and i didn't do a deal....curt put in the big raise....i called blind......carlos turned to me and said if he won the hand i was out, if i won the hand he was out, and if we both went out on this hand we would share the prize money...curt took us both out so we shared.....i had more chips so on bf this is differet i think.

need to have a few pints so will put up a report tomorrow. just to wish the english boys the best of luck...it was a pleasure playing with you both, bring it back home.
