Can Theo Jorgensen win back-to-back Grand Prix de Paris'?

With the final 27 players all guaranteed a cash 2012 World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris, a few of them are looking for their second WPT title. Juha Helppi, Theo Jorgensen, Bruno Lopes and Sean Jazayeri have all won WPT titles in the past and you can find their results below. Jorgensen won this very event back in 2010.

Juha Helppi: 2002 Ultimate Bet Poker Classic — $50,000
Theo Jorgensen: 2010 Grand Prix de Paris — €638,377
Bruno Lopes: 2012 WPT National Series Cannes — €108,000
Sean Jazayeri: 2012 L.A. Poker Classic — $1,370,240

With four players left amongst the final three tables, there's a good shot one of these three reach the official WPT final table of six to really get a shot at title number two.

Lellouche: {k-Clubs} {k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Hearts} {7-Spades} {j-Clubs} {3-Spades} {6-Clubs} , and Lellouche was eliminated. The remaining 27 players are all guaranteed at least €13,305. We'll bring you a redraw as soon as possible.

Doubles on the Bubble

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, there were two all ins.

On one table, Michael Kwierk open-shoved with {a-Diamonds} {a-Spades} , and was called by Raphaël Abitbol who had {k-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} . The board ran out {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} {3-Diamonds} , and Kwierk doubled.

At another table, there was a massive all in between Joe Serock and Timothy Adams. After a series of preflop raises, about 340,000 was in the middle, and the two were racing.

Adam's {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} held against Serock's {a-Spades} {k-Spades} on the flop ( {5-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {j-Spades} ) and the turn ( {9-Diamonds} ), but the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the river, doubling Serock.
