Table of Gallic Doom
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We have some of France's finest squashed together on an out-of-the-way table in the upstairs room - Guillaume de la Gorce, Ludovic Lacay and Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern are all eyeing each other up suspiciously and riffling chips, also joined at the table by 2009 PCA finalist Benny Spindler and EPT Deauville 28th place finisher Mathew Frankland.
While we were tableside, it mostly seemed to be Lacay doing the raising, although it's Spindler who's got all the chips.

board when we arrived, and Heinz Kamutzki had bet out 6,200. His opponent, we believe one Jan Jachtmann (apologies - it's really very cramped in here and certain seats are impossible to get to for purposes of eg. asking players their names), tanked up for some time and eventually made the call - and was soon banging his remaining chips on the table and saying something in German that judging by the sniggers across the table we suspect was obscene. The cause - Kamutzki's
