Paris WPT Final - Live Update

And although Vince announces a break, play is continuing. The beauty of being pre-recorded, huh?

Meanwhile, a devestated Mr Yeh encounters the press...

131k should soften the blow though.

I guess he's coming to track me down then....

It's gone pretty quiet at the felt now. Guess we've moving towards the big big bucks now.

Snoop, if you get close to Mr Sexton tell him the ROOKIE says thanks for the chips in last years $5K pot limit holdem at the WSOP. He was the victim of  

I raised in level 1, got 5 callers, flop of   , Mr Sexton had   and he was nice enough to donate 3,500 of his 5,000 starting chips to me. The 4/7 held and the legend grew Who says American poker players like Mike are not nice guys.

The players have just come out for a short break.

Hi Jen, snoops, hope you both slept well.

Is there any suggestion of "accelerating" the Blinds, as they did in this Final last year?

Chippy count:

Thomas Wahlroos -- 1,367,000
Jani Sointula -- 892,000
Henrik Witt -- 681,000
Christian Grundtvig -- 541,000

And on that note, the players are being summoned back into the room.

I'm backing Phillip "Clap Your Hands Say" Yeh.

Philip Yeh is out in 5th place, winning €131,250

Thomas Wahlroos raised, and Philip moved the lot in over the top - I think somewhere in the region of 440k.  Thomas called with , and found for Philip.

Mr. NoFlops squire - i will gladly forward (and i cant believe i am about to say this) 5 bananas to you if you please   please   please   dont mention me at any point during the WSOP main event!!

Jani and Christian see a flop -    Jani checks and Christian wins it with a 25k bet.

Thomas raises to 60k, Henrik Witt calls.  the flop.  Henrik takes that one with a bet out of 150,000.

It does looks a little ungainly when they bet with these 'plaques' - large rectangular things which are the special ACF high denomination chips, if you can call them that.  A bit of idiosyncrasy is nice to see on the WPT though - you can always tell which one the French one is by a single peek at the finalists' stacks.

I think you all read too much into this...

[snoopy1239]

My spidey senses inform me that this is the new WPT host, although I'm not 100%.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions?

cant make out the picture, its a bit dark - you need to post at least another dozen from various angles before we can confirm one way or another..........

I referred in the Day 1 Update to Joe Beevers appearing, to my eye, to be "not as focused as usual", & I elaborated on this on both the TV shows, suggesting Joe was in fact missing his two beautiful girls - well 3, actually!

I was chatting to Joe today, & he told me that, on the contrary, he was very focused indeed, as much, if not more, than ever.

I am happy to put the record straight, though it was no big deal to Joe.

In fact, the only reason I mention it is because Joe gave me one of those really odd suggestions as to why he maybe did not look as focused as usual.

"I did not have any hair gel on".

Well there you go. Maybe I could get Sponsorship from Brylcreem.

She's currently in the process of repeating her line over and over and over and over again until she gets it right.

Time for cue cards perhaps?
