WPT PARIS: WAXMAN TAKES CHARGE OF GRAND PRIX

PHOTO/SOURCE: WPT.com

Day 3 is in the books at the WPT Grand Prix de Paris. There was a lot of movement on the chip count sheet throughout the day - our post at around 6PM Paris time read Pepe, Lemaire and Sundell as the big stacks - only a few hours later and Pepe and Lemaire's stacks stayed fairly stagnant while Sundell is still right in the thick of things.


The fourth name on our chips list from earlier today was Matthew Waxman. Waxman has had a solid year so far this season (winning the Isle Classic back in February) and will collect his sixth PTPR Score of the season as of of the Final 18 participants remaining in Paris. Waxman will enter Day 4 play with 1.12M chips (unofficial count).

The only other million-dollar chip stack remaining is the aforementioned Sundell. Sundell was the Day 1A chip leader and he has continued his strong play throughout the tournament.

The last woman standing, Nesrine Kourdourli, is fourth in chips.
