Guillermo Gordo moved all in from the small blind and was immediately called by Henrik Juncker in the big blind.
Guillermo Gordo: 8?6?
Henrik Juncker: A?10?
The 7?3?9? flop saw Gordo pick up a straight draw before J? turn changed nothing. The dealer then turned over the 5? river, completing Gordo's draw for another double.
Guillermo Gordo moved his short stack all in from under the gun and Henrik Juncker quickly three-bet to his left. Both blinds folded leaving Gordo at risk.
Guillermo Gordo: J?9?
Henrik Juncker: A?7?
Gordo remained behind after the 7?10?3? flop and 6? turn, but was saved by the J? river much to the delight of his rail at the final table.
Two days of action at the 2024 PokerStars European Poker Tour Paris were not enough to complete the €2,200 France Poker Series High Roller event, so the remaining four players will return to crown a champion today.
When the clock hit 4 a.m. local time last night at Le Palais des Congres, Henrik Juncker bagged up 29,400,000 chips. His 49 big blinds are more than the other three players combined entering the added Day 3.
Among that group is PokerStars AmbassadorParker Talbot, who will sit down with 10,200,000 as play begins at 3 p.m. local time.
Joining the Canadian at the final table are Omar Del Pino (11,400,000) and short stack Guillermo Gordo (2,800,000), returning with just five big blinds.
