Darcourt Now Short
After a couple of players limped, a player in late position raised to 500. Both the cutoff and button called, as did French businessman Guillaume Darcourt -- winner of this year's WPT event in Bucharest, Romania -- in the big blind. The two limpers called as well, meaning a half-dozen players, then, saw the flop come

The turn brought the 
and checks from both players. The river was the 
. Darcourt pushed out a bet of 2,350, and when his opponent called he immediately mucked his hand. His opponent showed 
for an ace and the two pairs on board, and scooped the pot.
Darcourt slips under 12,000 on that one.
