  When two players are all that is left in a poker game, they call this heads up play, and it is the most exciting part of a poker tournament. By this point all the other players have left the table, and it was down to only two people to see who will come out as the champion, and win the lion's share of the money. Such was the case at the Aviation Club, the spot for the Grand Prix de Paris, part of the World Poker Tour's Season Six, and the two players were Christian Grundtvig and Jani Sointula.



  Jani, the Hellraiser, was a young Finnish poker pro making waves, and he was the underdog at this point by about two to one. Christian, the Stamp, was from Denmark and the chip leader. In this hand Jani limped in pre flop with:

... giving the Stamp top pair. Christian bet out with 75k in tourney chips and plaques, putting Jani into the tank. How would he chose to play this hand, holding an over card, bottom pair, and a diamond flush draw? Here he showed how he got his name, and moved all in.



  It was a bold move, and one Mike Sexton thought would surely get Christian to follow,
but it wasn't to be. The Stamp folded his top pair, a rare play in heads up poker, according
to commentator and fellow pro Sexton.
