WPT PARIS: GRINDER SALSBERG GOES BIG NAME HUNTING IN PARIS


The final table table is set at the WPT Grand Prix de Paris and it's tournament grinder Matt Salsberg (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1456th) who will lead the six remaining players to the final table on Saturday at the Aviation Club de France.



Salsberg has collected close to 170K USD in tournament earnings in 2012, having cashed in 18 different events on the season - including a side-event victory at the LAPC back in February.

Recent major tournament winners Mohsin Charania (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-32nd) and Timothy Adams (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-39th) follow Salsberg in second and third positions. Charania won the EPT Grand Final in April while Adams picked up his first WSOP bracelet this summer.

A win for either player would move them into the QuadJacks Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard ... Charania would hit the 300-point mark for the season, placing him third overall, in front of Vanessa Selbst ... as for Adams, a win would place him fourth, in front of WSOP Players Champion Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.

2010 WPT Grand Prix de Paris Champion Theo Jorgensen (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR) is back at this same final table two years after his victory.

Jorgensen will join Salsberg, Charania, Adams, two-time EPT High Rollers winner Philipp Gruissem (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-642nd) (who held the chip lead the past two days) and a three-time winner on the poker circuit, Fabian Quoss (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: NR), at the latest final table on the World Poker Tour.
