The Grand Prix de Paris 2008 just ended with Roger Hairabedian coming up on top of a field of 138 players and grabbing €419,520 for the first prize and at the same time scoring a second big tournament, after winning the Paris Open of Paris in February 2008.

The Grand Prix was held at the Aviation Club de France, one of the most popular and classy poker club in France.

On the second hand of the day, another player got kicked out, and this time by our very own ElkY! Franck Kalfon with found no help against ElkY’s and went out 8th for €39,330.

At this point of the tourney, ElkY looked unstoppable. And it looked like he was running really good as the next hand shows it: Nasrodin Pirmanod raise pre-flop with and ElkY called with . The flop came , then lots of action went on and after a couple of raise/reraise, both players went all-in. The turn did not help ElkY but a miraculous on the river gave him a really dominant chip lead!

Once they were down to 5 players, ElkY really ran over the table with his monster stack. However, he took a first stab when holding , he was involved in a 3 ways hand, and the flop came . Sebban went all-in and ElkY called but realized he was way behind when the villain flipped over . No help for ElkY and he went down to 360,000 chips. It seemed that from there, ElkY ran out of luck because a couple of hands later, he got it all in the middle with after a raise of Sebban with . Sebban finally called after thinking for a while and flopped a Ten, and the board brought no help for ElkY.
Bertrand “ElkY” Gropellier went out in style in 5th place for €78,600.

After the eliminations of Ryad Absour and Talal Shakerchi for 4th and 5th place, the heads-up took place with Roger Hairabedian facing Mickael Sebban. And it did not last long! After a couple of hands, Hairebedian went all in with after Sebban raised him with . And surprisingly, Sebban played his whole tournament life with that hand since he called the all in.
The held up and crowned Roger Hairabedian the winner of the Grand Prix de Paris 2008 while Sebban took second place for €222,870!

Final ranking:

1. Roger Hairabedian - 419.520€
