Paris WPT Day 3 - Live Update

[Djinn]

Henrik Witt doubles through to 270,000:

He raised to 22,000 in the cutoff (blinds 3k/6k).  Christer Johansson was obviously not convinced, putting him to the test for his whole stack in the small blind.  To my surprise, Henrik called very quickly with , and found Christer pipped with his .

The board: 

And a 136k knock to the chip leader.

So each pot already has 19k or 20k in preflop, so an average stack can only survive 11 and a bit orbits, that's not much room for playability.

Quick teaser for you...

Which renowned poker pro is the owner of this flashy shirt??

I think his name rhymes with Deddy Freeb (come on Snoops that's a bit tricky isn't it?)

[snoopy1239]

Nabil Ayoubi moves all-in under the gun for 98k.

Patrick Schuhl quickly announces call from the cut-off.

Then, before the big blind, Wahlroos has made his decision, Nabil exposes his pocket fours.

A ruling is called for, the T.D trundles over.

the T.D turns over the cards so they are on permanent show and lets play continue.

Wahlroos folds, and Schuhl reveals A-K.

Flop = 8-4-7-A-J

Nabil punches the air.

[snoopy1239]

Christer Johannson bets 23k

Philip Yeh flat calls.

Christian Gruntvig reraises to 83k.

Both opponents fold.

[Djinn]

Out in 15th place for €21,000 is Zuo Ping Yu

I only saw it when the cards were already on their backs and the river being dealt between a forest of mics -

ZP Yu   
Feriolo Romain 

Board:  with the on the river.  A loud handslap from the victorious Romain and we're down to just 14 here.

[snoopy1239]

No more news as of yet.

Jen is currently in the trenches collating notes.

It's a struggle getting in and out due to the crowd, so it's best if she posts the info in one batch rather than keep going back and forth.

[RED-DOG]

Hello Snoops, Jen, Banjofish!

Great updatering. been out all day, but now I'm back, and I'm here for the duration.

[Djinn]

And Nabil Ayoubi is our 14th place finisher, winning €21,000

He raced for his smallish stack with Ah against Patrick Schuhl's .  The flop came seven-high, and the board as a whole came eight-high, ending the last British player's run.  Not bad for a second-year-running online qualification though.
