May 15, 2007 - Eighteen Year Old Poker Prodigy wins Paris Grand De Prix

 

Eighteen year old poker prodigy, Will Ma,  has taken down another big prize pulling of the championship at the Paris Grand De Prix poker event. This event was initially scheduled to be a WPT event but the plug was pulled on that by the French Government who refused to let the WPT take the event. While Will Ma does not have the WPT title he probably deserves he did pocket $574,068 for the first place victory.

 

Will Ma won the Poker Stars leaderboard in March of 2007 and has been the talk of online poker ever since. At just 18 years old he has cashed in more online tournaments that a typical player will in a life time. With this victory at the Paris event he has shown his talents expand well beyond the internet realm. While some pros did not make the trip there was still quite a field in this event. Will Ma outlasted many well feared tournament sharks such as Freddy Deeb, Ram Vaswani and Jeff Lisandro.

 

Will Ma was actually behind when they players were heads up but gained a lead when

Runarsson pushed all in holding KQ on a flop of 5 Q T rainbow. Will Ma quickly called with AA to take a commanding lead which he never relinquished.
