While most of the poker world had their eyes on the November Nine action at the Rio there was still plenty of cash up for grabs in France as WPT Amneville drew to a close yesterday.
In the end it was home player Adrien Allain who took the €310,633 first prize. The Frenchman got lucky early in the day, cracking Scott Baumstein's pocket aces with A10 but didn't look back from then on.The youngster worked his way through a final table that included Arnaud Trouer, Michel Konieczny, Baumstein and bwin sponsored pro Thibaud Guenegou to set up a heads up battle with Party Poker qualifier Jordane Ouin. The key hand saw all the chips hit the middle with Allain's flush beating the amateur's trip nines. Allain sealed the win soon after when his pocket tens held up against Ouin's K9The final table positions and payouts were as follows:1st: Adrien Allain: €310,6332nd: Jordane Ouin: €170,3653rd: Thibaud Guenegou: €113,5804th: Scott Baumstein: €80,6405th: Michel Konieczny: €60,1976th: Arnaud Trouer: €47,700Image courtesy of Francesco Rizzo/PartyPoker BlogKeep up to date with all the news from the poker world by following us on Twitter and Facebook.
