Theo Jorgensen started the last day with a massive chip advantage and looked like the favourite to take this €633,902 prize at the WPT Grand Prix de Paris.  The Danish player has not won a major tournament of this size before but he does have a long record of money finishes.  The French were not going to let a trophy leave their backyard without a fight.  The final table was swamped with Frenchmen.  The closest competitor was Antoine Amourette who managed to fend off Jorgensen for three hands until his 6 million chip lead crushed him with a AK winning hand.  That finishes the WPT Grand Prix de Paris till next year.
