Grand Prix De Paris: Day 2 - Interactive

[TightEnd]

Marc Goodwin is OUT, leaving without a parting thought.

Oh, except for the phrase, "The French are f-ing muppets, and you can quote me on that." I don't think I will though... oh, oops. 

Probably not the best of places to make that observation with an exclamation, but although a slight generalistation, it's hard not to sympathise.

Under the gun, Marc made it 2.1k to play with only for his French ami (or en-ami) to raise another 4k. Marc pushed for 23k and Frenchieboy made an incredible call with J-To, leaving himself with just 2k behind.

Of course, the A-Q went bust, to a salt-in-wound-rubbing full house, leaving MrCool with a somewhat bitter taste in his mouth.

Bad news for MrCool, but great news for the nearest bar.

whats the fuss...French Fry boy was beating J 9...

Peter Gould has doubled through courtesy of Samir Shakhtoor, flopping a cracking Flop with , betting out 4k and having the Swede make an over-the-top for 20k move at the wrong time with just one pair. The Queen stood up leaving Mr Gould with just over 50k.

Eric Larcheveque is OUT -

Ge called a cutoff raise from Patrick Schull in the small blind, as did big blind Vivian Anseline.  The flop came:  .  Eric bet out 1,500.  Vivian raised to 4,500.  Patrick had lost interest by now, but Eric called when it got back to him.
Turn:  .  Eric checked - a multicoloured stack measuring about 7,725 went in.  After a little think, he said it, the one-word shove:  "Tapis."  It was another 12k or so to Anseline, and he eventually called, showing , good against Eric's . 

As he left the room, tablemate Brian Johnson said he knew exactly what was going on there as after letting himself be pushed off earlier by Larcheveque he was later made aware that his ex-opponent wasn't exactly the tightest of players and had been after his stack.  Too late!

Pictured:  Vivian Anseline, during and after the hand.  He reminds me (before grinning after winning) of Beat Takeshi in 'Brother' without the twitchy eye.

I'd love to see you say that to Marc Goodwin as he was storming out the place.

He kinda lost his (Mr) Cool.

ah, but who knows what led up to the hand, that may have influenced J10...Mr Uncool might have been showing all manners of bags of spanners

[Rolandinho05]

im not there cos im a little tired of travel and somewhat ill (as opposed to sick!). just need some r and r!

its a good comp out there sounds like a lot of play..

[snoopy1239]

Nikolai Evdakov raises to 2k pre-flop, Janne Lamsa calls, Thomas Belleuvre moves all-in for 20.2k, both players fold.

Could have had a hand, but smelt like a move to me, albeit a good one.

[snoopy1239]

Double up for Mad Derwich, J-J vs. A-K, Q-Q-4-2-7 board following by a deep exhale.

[snoopy1239]

And here are the subjects of those last reports, with heightened chippy counts to boot.

Thomas Belleuvre -- 21,500
Mad Derwich -- 24,275

Are you suggesting perception and observation skills within the French ranks?...

[snoopy1239]

Fix your post, sunshine.

[wsopin07]

Just spoke to Marc about his exit, if he is not the funniest guy in the world after a bad beat I don't know who is!!!!!!

I wish I would have told him that it was a great call w/   , if they were playing at the "World Series of Blackjack"

Time to move on to the next comp for Mr Cool   "NEXT"

There is certainly lots of play - and without the stupid WPT-filming-crapshoot at the end, this might be the best structured tournament of the year, in my opinion.

Brian Johnson says that they might stretch it to the full six days to keep the cash games bubbling over - perhaps by just not raising the blinds.  At all.
