WPT Grand Prix de Paris – Day 4 Report
Posted by: Jo Martin - Sun, 2012-09-16 15:03
The 4th day of action in the WPT’s Grand Prix de Paris Main Event saw 24 players return to the tables. The goal for the day was a simple one, and quite easily attainable too: to play right down to the final table. It took the field 9 hours to complete the objective though, at the end of which, Matt Salsberg was the one sitting with the largest stack. Salsberg managed to build a stack of 1.75 million chips. The other players who made it into the final day of the
poker tournament are Mohsin Charania, Fabian Quoss, Phillip Gruissem, Theo Jorgensen and Timothy Adams.
The first level of action was quite possibly the most productive one eliminations-wise. The short-stacks all got their stacks into the middle trying to chip up and obviously, many of them got swept aside by the tide.
Nicolas Cardyn was the first player to find the rail. He ran his A,5o into an opponent’s A,K and he was out. Andrew Lichtenberger didn’t take long to follow Cardyn to the sidelines.
Juha Helppi, the Hellraiser, was disposed of in short order too. His elimination was a package deal with Jean-Philippe Rohr’s: they both fell in the same hand, courtesy of Matt Salsberg. Before they knew it, the field had played down to two tables.
Kyle Julius was the next player to bite the dust at this stage. Theo Jorgensen was the one responsible for his elimination.
After the field had reached the final 14, the action slowed down considerably. Jacques Enjoubault, one of the early chip leaders, was the one eliminated in 14th place, but it took him nearly an hour to find the rail. The official final table bubble-boy was Jerome Douieb, who was eliminated by none other than the eventual chip leader: Matt Salsberg. Douieb had an Ad, Qd in his final hand against Salsberg’s Ac, Kc. None of the two hands got hit by the board and Douieb was out.
