WPT Season 6 - Jack High No Good

  In the beautiful City of Lights, two men were playing poker for nearly a million dollar prize, and doing very well at the game. It was a Dane and a Finn playing at the French event, the last two of many European poker players who took a shot at the Grand Prix de Paris, part of the World Poker Tour's Season Six. Jani Sointula and Christian Grundtvig were the players, and No Limit Texas Holdem was the game.  Both players opened up their style of play and got involved in nearly every hand, almost regardless of what they were actually holding. This is a proper heads up strategy, where the lack of other cards on the table lennens the chance that your hand - no matter how poor it is - is already beat before the flop.  Jani "Hellraiser" started things off by raising to 125k in tourney chips and plaques, holding only: ... Christian was right behind him with a call, holding a dominating: ... The flop came down: ... nailing two pair for Christian "the Stamp." Yet it wasn't he who made the bet. He checked it to the Finnish player, who obliged him by betting 200k. Christian thought for a moment, and then moved all in. The move was well timed, and there was nothing that Jani could do with Jack high but fold away and ship the pot to the Stamp.
