Paris WPT Day 3 - Live Update

Christian Grundtvig Wins Big Pot News Now -

Kenneth Strandli is down to the felt after a brutal which was cracked by Christian's King-hitting .

Despite someone saying they'd folded a King, the board came out .  Ouch.

Strandli looked gutted and growled under his breath.

Blinds are currently at 5000/1000 (1000)

[Djinn]

And that pot right there - the biggest of the night - 700,000 - gave Grundtvig the lead, after right before the dinner break he won a crucial race with Sevens against KJ.  So from potentially Out, to potential Final Tablist - such is the nature of No-limit Hold'em...

Double up news now as we approach the final (TV) table.

Patrice Boudel has just lost a crucial coin flip.

All-in with A-K versus Patrik Schuhl's pocket ladies.

Queen on the flop practicially sealed it.

6-Q-4-8-6

Boudel is now right down to the felt with just 37k.

Finishing in 9th place for €37,500 is Patrice Boudet

The Frenchman moved his short stack (31,000) all-in with , and found Jani Sointula willing to give him a spin with - an Ace coming signified the end of Patrice's run, and he got a hearty round of applause from the spectators.

[Djinn]

And, as expected, Kenneth Strandli quickly made a move, so quickly, in fact, that I was stuck in row 3 out of 5 spectators and only saw the clapping and rising of the unlucky Norwegian.

But we have the bare bones:  Kenneth Strandli eliminated in 8th position, for €56,250

Seven players left, which means....

[snoopy1239]

STOP!

BUBBLE TIME!



Do dat thang!

[snoopy1239]

Henri Boutboul is our current shortstack, so it looks like he's favourite to hit that dreaded T.V. bubble.

[Djinn]

Roughly:

Thomas Wahlroos    600k
Philip Yeh               320k
Jani Sointula           620k
Christian Grundtvig  700k+
Henrik Witt             580k
Patrick Schuhl           22k (? could be more hidden behind)
Henri Boutboul        110k

[Djinn]

And here they are, the rather tense final seven:

The guys (top) are friends of Patrick Schuhl (below) and sort of got a bit excited when I was taking pictures of him, insisting I get them too.  So enthusiastic were they that they deserve their shot along with Patrick, whose attention they got by shouting - it's an old way but a good way...

I still dont like the French, and I think they smell funny toooooooo

[wsopin07]

STOP!

BUBBLE TIME!



Do dat thang!

we need bubble time shirts for the WSOP this year!

[snoopy1239]

And we're done.

... with Boutboul as the unfortunate bubble.

He moved his shortstack in with pocket fives, but was unable to successfully see off the might of Henrik Witt's A-8, which spiked a second eight on the flop.
