The 2010 World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris had 247 players enter for their chance at a world poker title. First place money was a stunning ?633,902, and it would not be an easy feat to seal a win in this event. The final eight players came down to Mickael Guenni, Theo Jorgensen, Antoine Amourette, Per Linde, Jimmy Ostensson, Nourredine Aitaleb, Fabrice Touil, and Arnaud Mattern.
When play at the final table started, Jorgensen held the chip lead with 2.7 million. Fabrice Touil was second in chips with 1.2 million which gave Jorgensen a strong lead. He would need it because he failed to knock out Antoine Amourette who was the short stack, and this left him sending chips across the felt to Amourette for a double up.
One by one each of the soldiers began to fall. Ostensson was the first to hit the rail when Touil called his all in and paired both of his cards. Arnaud Mattern was the next to go after he ran his Ac Qd into the pocket aces of Amourette.
Guenni pushed all in preflop with QhTc and got two callers. It appeared that this would be Guenni?s final hand when Amourette turned the ace high flush, but miraculously Guenni rivered a boat to stay alive. However, this didn?t last very long as he was all in again and failed to survive his all in against Jorgensen. He finished in 4th place.
Linde was the next to go after he became a short stack from doubling up Amourette he desperately needed a double up. He made a move with 7c 5d and was called by Jorgensen who held Kd Js. Linde wasn?t able to catch a win, so he left Jorgensen and Amourette to battle it out.
The heads up match was horrifically lop sided with Jorgensen sitting at 6 million in chips and Amourette at a little over 600k. It didn?t take long for Amourette to find his all in spot with Kd 6h. Unfortunately, he had run into a monster with Jorgensen holding As Kc. The board ran out 6d Jc 4c Ah 6d to give Jorgensen the win. Jorgensen took home the 2010 title and ?633,902 in prize money.
