WPT Tonight: Grand Prix de Paris

Tonight's episode of the World Poker Tour is the Grand Prix de Paris, held at the Aviation Club in Paris, France. In past seasons, this has been my least favorite event. Maybe I'm just a homer, but the European poker scene doesn't much interest me. With the exception of Tony G's insane rambling a couple years ago, I've just found this event to be boring.

This year might be different, though. This is a very well-balanced final table, and hopefully that will translate into a strategic finish, rather than the push-and-pray tactics evident at most final tables. Here's the lineup tonight:

Seat 1 - Thomas Wahlroos, 653,000
Seat 2 - Philip Yeh, 456,000
Seat 3 - Jani Sointula, 647,000
Seat 4 - Christian Grundtvig, 625,000
Seat 5 - Henrik Witt, 649,000
Seat 6 - Patrick Schuhl, 455,000
