Grand Prix De Paris: Days 3 and 4 - Interactive

[snoopy1239]

Seemingly tough decision for Paul 'Rocket Man'Gourlay.

I join the action with around 30k in the pot and the board reading .

Will Ma has put Paul all-in for his last 45-50k.

At first, Will Ma leaves the table so as not to give anything away, but is asked to return to his seat by the TD.

Upon returning, Will Ma proceeds to hide his perhaps slightly wobbly poker face.

Back to Gourlay. Clearly faced with a tricky decision, you can see it on his face as he rises from his seat, hands on his head.

Back in his chair, he suddenly announces "Call", and we have a showdown.

Will Ma =

Rocket Man =

We have also lost Adrien Gavile in 17th place (very short stacked, all in for his final hand with just 21k, called and eliminated by Will Ma) and just now Atanas Gueorguieu in 16th, whose was demolished by Jeffrey Lisandro's (ending up with Kings full and a stack to rival Ram's...full counts in one minute).

Nikolai Liakos is OUT in 15th (I believe & hope), his Queens running into the American Airlines of local hero Georges Teboul, no help on the board.

First hand back off the break, I interrupt Ram during a hand (naughty me) to ask for a crisp. He raises 15k and say, "Sure, go ahead".

Kirill, however, moves all-in over the top... Ram folds instantly, leaving Kirill to show A-Qo.

Nikolai Liakos is OUT in 15th (I believe & hope), his Queens running into the American Airlines of local hero Georges Teboul, no help on the board.

And I'd just got these pictures of him demonstrating the Basic Riffle:

allez belier....

Rocket Man clears the table after bleating out his rendition of 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road'.

[Djinn]

Exit:  The likeable Antoine Nouel ran his A-5 into the A-A of Will Ma, and finishes, therefore, in 14th place.  It got all-in on a 4-A-K flop, and the huge set took out Antoine and his remaining 75k or so. 

Paul Gourlay, "Extra six grand!"

[snoopy1239]

Tor Gammelgard has suffered a big hit at the hands of table neighbour Yuri Kerzhapkin, all-in with vs. , board.

[Djinn]

Paul Gourlay takes a bit of a hit - raising to 15k preflop, it passes to big blind (5k) Will Ma.  Who calls. 
Flop:    A superquick double-check.
Turn:    Will throws in two blue 10k chips.  Quick smooth call from Paul...
River:    Will bets out 30k and gets another quick call, Paul showing the .  But the slowplayed flopped trips of Will Ma (holding ) take the pot and reduce the Rocketman back to a short stack...
