Paris WPT Final - Live Update

[Djinn]

All in from Jani, Christian calls (he's got him covered...)  The last two shake hands, and...

Jani has
Christian has

Flop: 
Turn: 
River:  (and the Danes are literally bouncing off the walls)

They go predictably bonkers as the Danish Grundtvig takes it!

[Djinn]

In 2nd place, winning €356,250 is Jani Sointula...

So the WPT Champion of the Rendez-vous a Paris is Christian Grundtvig, winning €712,500!

When the cameras are off...

Mike Sexton: "Testing, testing," as he taps his microphone, "I can't even hear myself."

Amateurs!

hi maureen, any more?

100 times better Dewi tx

When the cameras are off...

Mike Sexton: "Testing, testing," as he taps his microphone, "I can't even hear myself."

Amateurs!

Oh yes, now we get that tension-draining recording of the prizes being allotted and hands being shaken and interviewers interviewing etc. etc.  Let's hope they do it in one take... we'll see if we can get a couple of snaps when they eventually emerge.

Typically (I remember being surprised about this last year) the room is already clearing, and any minute now the audience chairs will be whisked off and the lounge will look untouched for decades, as usual.  Some cheering, a shrug, and everyone goes off to play cash. 

[Djinn]

They're still locked away in there, finishing the Show - Snoops' camera is at the ready, though, to get them whenever the doors open.

<aside>  Hello BigDog25.  <little bro of me>

[snoopy1239]

Mike Sexton is literally booming down the microphone as he thanks blah, blah, and blah.

And off he goes again... same spiel.

It appears a lot more spontaneous on the box.

Jani...

A man of few words

[Djinn]

He bigs up Jani first, saying, "how are you feeling?"

He gets a one-worder, "Disappointed."

[Djinn]

And now "Here's to our champion, from Denmark, Christian Grundtvig!" 

He also gets entry to the$25,000 Bellagio WPT like the sugary icing on the million dollar cake.

Snoopy has braved the Room to try to sneak some pics, as it looks like we're not going to be granted high level clearance.  I think it was a bit of a 'shove hand with camera in it round the door and hope' moment, but before he was ejected he got one, to round off our update for the day.  We're off for steak.
