Paris WPT Day 3 - Live Update

[Djinn]

OK - sorry about the delay - I'll try to get your questions sorted -

Blinds currently 2,000/4,000 ante 500

They are scheduled to play to the final (Televised) table today - I think that's 6 for the WPT, right?

The white button signifies the dealer and moves one position clockwise each hand, determining the order of dealing and subsequent action.

Whilst waiting for the excellent updates to continue I'm watching a fascinating $200/$400 NL HU online rumoured to be Freddie Deeb and Johnny Lodden. Jen any news from there whether it is the pair of them and if so are they playing on lappies in the Aviation?

Thank you young lady , can you also tell why I cant fold AK to a reraise

27th and 26th place finishes have already been determined - Benjamin Hannuna and Andreas Hagen.  Both were in the bottom four chipwise and it's no surprise there were some chip-gaining attempts fairly early on. 

It also appears that Daniel Lellouche hasn't quite turned up yet - there's a garish bit of pink paper on his stack with his name on it.  Or he could just like to have that there and he's gone to the bathroom or something.

No idea - if so they're not in the press area.  I'll look in the bar on the way for tea - they sound like more than probable candidates, though.

That, sir, must remain a mystery - but the first step to recovery is realising you have a problem

Because you are a calling station Mr Reid. Better to be a Railway Station.

We will never forget Sheffield.

In a rather perverse way I'd love Hellmuth to win it.

On the telly yesterday I saw footage of last years WSOP Main event, in which he made a wonderful laydown of AK on a A44 board versus AA


Forgetting the histrionics and the baggage for a moment, still a top class player

Let it go, let it go OLD MAN

Here's the Surinder Story - OUT in 25th

He had a tough decision on his first big blind of the day (4k out of his 18k) when Jani raised and Andreas Hagen sat next to him in the small blind moved all-in!  It was a tricky decision for him with QJ - and the clock was called eventually, and he passed.  That hand knocked out Andreas' 88 as Jani's KJ hit a straight...

Then in the small blind he straight away doubled up with K 10 against A 6 (Thomas Wahlroos) - spiking two pair.

But, back in the big blind again, Henrik Witt, Serial Raiser, raises from the small blind, and he's all-in again, this time with .  It looked good when he saw Henrik's , but that Ace hit to send him out.

A lot of drama in the first half hour, and that leaves just Nabil Ayoubi flying the British flag...
