Seat 5 - Timothée D'Anfray, 30, Paris (36,625,000)
Timothée D'Anfray is here on vacation. Opener, Sprint, Déglingo and even the Beer Pong Open: success eluded him for most of the week. "I was eliminated in the first round of the Beer Pong because of my partner. I made eight cups, he made one. I think that's the end of our partnership!"
Away from the MTT and Beer Pong tables, Timothée's specialty is something completely different: Expresso, which he played full-time for eight years. These days, the Parisian works in a chemistry research laboratory, but he hasn't completely said goodbye to poker. Two years ago, he won a Winamax Series title and still doesn't mind playing the occasional satellite.
Timothée arrived in Aix-les-Bains with two tickets won online, then had to add two bullets out of his own pocket once he got there. "My Day 1s were horrible, not much happened. Everything accelerated midway through Day 2, when my stack took off."
So much so that Timothée has reached the final table as chip leader in his second WPO. And among his six remaining opponents, there is one he knows better than the others.
"I kind of came here with Etienne. He's a friend of a friend." But there are no friends at the poker table, and the chip leader won't be giving any gifts to Sam Jakubowicz's protégé.
