Grand Prix De Paris: Day 2 - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Double takedown for Csaba Kuremski, with the monster known as ... 3k from Ramzi, call from Csaba, all-in from a short-stacked Antoine Chuzeville, Ramzi goes for it too, and Csaba Kuremski, covering them both, decides he wants in on it.

A wincing table says goodbye to both all-in players as they get outdrawn by what I am guessing was a flush.  "Nice hand Not," says a leaving Ramzi/Borat (out of table earshot, of course), understandably not best pleased. 

Dinner break in 4 minutes.

Adrien Gavile raises to 3,500 from under the gun plus one only for Vikash Dhorasso to make it 8,000 from the big blind.

Adrien re-raised to 13,500 and Vikash called.

Flop = Q-3-7

Vikash pushed all-in and Adrien calls.

Vikash =

Adrien =

Turn = 3

River = 5

Vikash leaves the cardroom.

[snoopy1239]

Down to 45, the latest exit being Alain Layani, knocked out by Michel Akrich, threes v jacks, 2-9-5-A-8 board, 3 hearts on the flop, but none in their hands.

----------

Dave Colclough raises 5k from the button, David Redlin re-raises another 30k or so from the big blind, and Dave calls for his remaining 30k stack.

So Dave v Dave, the elder (Colclough) way in the lead with versus , and even more so come the board. Turn, River.

[Djinn]

Paul Gourlay limps on the button for 1,600, small blind Will Ma completes and big blind Ram Vaswani checks.  Flop:    Check to Paul, who bets 2,600.  Ram calls.
Turn:    check-check
River:    Ram bets out 7k.  Paul counts it out - it's just over half his stack... eventually he throws it in, and shows , splitting the pot with Ram's .
_______________________________________________

Janne Lamsa is OUT - a pretty much auto-all-in with a very short stack (something tells me I just missed a hand where he lost most of his chips, although was never on a particularly big stack today) it was up to Nikolas Liakos to make the call of just a few thousand - not sure exactly how much, he said, "It doesn't matter - I call" showing , good against the final of Lamsa. 

[snoopy1239]

Paul Gourlay raises to 5k from the button, Ram Vaswani moves the Geordie in for his last 15k.

Paul =

Ram =

Board =

Big exhale and gentle tap of the table from Paul as he collects a 40k+ pot.

Peter Gould is all but out, left with just 6.5k after Daniel Donnabedian moved all-in on an board, Pete's A-8 in bad shape against Daniel's A-Q.

King River was of no use.

Peter even called it pre-flop, saying, "Have you got that Ace Queen again?"

[snoopy1239]

With the blinds at 800 and 1,600 with a running ante of 150, Aleaksander Dzianisan raises to 11,000 under-the-gun.

Sorel announces 'raise' and puts in 4,450, only to be told that there had been a raise before him.

Sorel asks for a ruling from the floor, and is promptly told by the Tournament Director that he has to raise at least another 11,000 because he announcing the action verbally.

With this in mind, Sorel reluctantly puts in 22,000.

After everyone else had folded, play returns to Aleaksander Dziansan who swiftly moves all-in for the rest of his 20k (approx) chips.

Dziansan looks confident as he turns over the Ladies, but not so when he spots Sorel's Pocket Cowboys.

Raggy Flop of no use and Dziansan is sent packing.

[Djinn]

Sorel Mizzi gets involved in a big pot against button Vivian Anseline... caught it on the turn with the board .  Sorel bet out 16k into a pot which had already reached the 20k mark, and after a suitable dwell, Vivian moved in.  It was just 13k more for Sorel to call with his , which he duly did, finding his opponent holding , and rivering the fourth Nine for good measure.  Down to 36k for Mizzi.

[snoopy1239]

Koskas raised it up pre-flop (and under-the-gun) to 5,500, only to receive two smooth callers (the call is smooth not Gourlay  ) in Paul Gourlay and Ram Vaswani.

Flop =

Koskas pushes all-in for 34.5k, Paul folds, albeit after a brief session in the think tank, and Ram nonchalantly calls.

Ram =

Koskas =

Turn =

River =

... and Koskas is gone.

To my delight, I said to Dutch blogger Vincent that I thought Paul had either Eights or Nines, and I was right, he'd let go of the latter.

[snoopy1239]

Double up for Runar Runarsson, A-8 v 7-7, K-8-6-8-5 board.

He's now on 30-35k.

[snoopy1239]

Speak of the devil, Paul 'Rocket Man' Gourlay has just doubled up against Ram Vaswani, all the chips flying in on a , Ram's plea of "Show me a flush draw" with goes unanswered as Paul turns over .

Turn =

"Black," demands Gourlay, whose prayers were answered.

River =

Paul now up to around 70k with 35 players left.

[Djinn]

Runar Runarsson doubles up courtesy of Nichlas Saarisilta:  Runar raised to 6,400 (the blinds now 1,200/2,400) on the cutoff, and found Nichlas on the button re-raising a further 10k.  Runar shoved when it got back to him (another 17k, it looked like) and got a quicker-than-expected call from Nichlas with his .  Runar's held up, although a flopped Jack might have increased the tension a little.

Samir Shakhtoor raised to 5,800 on the cutoff, called by small blind Will Ma.  Flop:    Check-check.  Turn:    Will bets out 7k, gets a prompt raise to 24k and passes.
