Welcome To The Final Table Of The 2010 WPT Grand Prix de Paris
![[user76023]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The players have had two days off to relax and visit the Eiffel Tower, the Catacombes de Paris, Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, but now that time is over as the players are squeezing into the area at the end of the restaurant.
Theo Jorgensen is currently head and shoulders above the rest of the pack with more than double anyone else's stack. Fabrice Touil starts out in second and is the only other player with over seven figures, indeed Jorgensen could double any other stack up apart from Touil and would still be chip leader, a strong position to be in.
The rest of the final table is made up of former EPT winner Arnaud Mattern, fellow French hopes Nourredine Aïtaleb, Antoine Amourette and Mickael Guenni. Also there but fairly short stacked are Swedes Per Linde and Jimmy Ostensson, the latter having been the chip leader at the start of day 4.
The players are just about squeezing into a very packed tournament area, space is fairly limited to say the least! However we expect play to start in the next 10 minutes or so.

First Three Hands
Mickael Guenni raised to 50,000 and took the blinds in the very first hand.
On the second hand Antoine Amourette raised to 50,000 but a couple of seats down and Jimmy Ostensson pushed all-in. No-one looked particularly interested in calling and Amourette gave up the pot without much thought.
On the third hand, Theo Jorgensen raised to 50,000 with Nourredine Aïtaleb and Fabrice Touil calling.
The flop was 
and it was checked to Jorgensen who bet 75,000. Aïtaleb folded but Touil check-raised to 225,000. Jorgensen thought for a moment, before making making the call against the player second in the chip counts. The turn was the 
and Touil checked a second time but Jorgensen did not check behind, instead firing out 260,000, Touil now looked a little unsure of what to do next and sat thinking.
After a couple of minutes, the clock was called and Touil then gave up the hand, Jorgensen knocking Touil back into the middle of the pack and putting himself at about the 3 million mark.
The Ultimate Blank Proves Not To Be...
Arnaud Mattern took the fourth hand with a raise from the small blind while Theo Jorgensen got a walk from the big blind in the next hand.
Per Linde opened to 45,000 from UTG and it was passed to Mickael Guenni who reraised to 139,000 from the button. Linde quickly folded.
Seventh hand and Fabrice Touil raised to 68,000, Theo Jorgensen gave it a good think before folding. It was passed to Per Linde, who moved all-in, Touil instantly called.
Linde: 
Touil: 
The board came 
but then a cry from the room as the 
came on the river. Touil ran off from the table and Linde said, "Yeah, that was pretty sick."
In the aftermath, Jorgensen revealed he had folded 
because he felt Touil was pretty strong. So we start the tournament with a 1-outer on the river, that's quite cool right?
The Boot On The Other Foot
Like how we at Pokernews cook our clams, Fabrice Touil seemed a little steamed after that last hand and pushed all-in preflop straight away. Mickael Guenni moved all-in behind and Touil was the one now at risk.
Guenni: 
Touil: 
A 
board meant Touil got his a double up, but he still looked fairly unhappy from losing that big pot to Per Linde. Guenni now becomes the short stack at the final table.
Linde Has A Big Per?
Nourredine Aïtaleb raised and took the blinds and then in Hand 10, Per Linde raised to 45,000 with Fabrice Touil defending in the blinds. It wasn't a long defence by the Frenchman though, he quickly surrendered to a 54,000 bet on the 
flop.
Arnaud Mattern was lucky enough to get a walk in Hand 11.
Per Linde opened to 45,000 preflop but Arnaud Mattern reraised to 150,000 from the small blind. Per Linde rechecked his cards then declared slightly nervously, "I'm all-in..."
Mattern looked equally concerned by both the shove and the fact that Linde had him covered in the hand. He spent a moment crunching the numbers in his head as Linde stared straight on, impassively.
Eventually, Mattern made the fold albeit with heavy reluctance. Linde is the biggest climber so far and a clear second place at the moment.
Jorgensen Wins One, Loses Another
Mickael Guenni limped in with his short stack from the small blind, which meant Theo Jorgensen decided to punish the limp, making it 50,000 to go from the big blind. Guenni called but then folded when Jorgensen set him in on the flop.
Arnaud Mattern made it 48,000 from the cutoff and Theo Jorgensen called in the small blind after calculating Mattern's stack. The flop was 
and Jorgensen checked and then folded quickly to a 68,000 bet from Mattern.
Last Hands Of The Level
Hand 15 saw Mickael Guenni move all-in from the cutoff and win some blinds and antes, while the following hand, Per Linde set Jimmy Ostensson all-in from the small blind, forcing the small blind to fold.
That was the last hand of the level, players are on a 10 minute break
