Ilan Rouah will be the sole player representing the French at this final table. Rouah did well to build his stack up towards the top of the leader board on Day 2, but when it was time to bag and tag for the day with the final table set, Rouah sat in fifth place out of the six players left with 200,000 in chips.
Checking Rouah��s live poker resume, we find two results. He first result came in May of 2008 and it was a nice score worth �101,000, or about $156,000 at the time. He pocketed that prize for taking down the �1,300 No-Limit Hold��em event at the Planet 50 Cercle Gaillon Tournament in Paris. His other result didn��t come until just recently, more than two years later. He cashed in the �2,700 No Limit Hold'em Heads-Up event at the Partouche Poker Tour, taking fourth place for �9,944.
With some recent heads-up success under his belt, it��ll be interesting to see how Rouah navigates this final table. Short-handed play requires players to be a lot more aggressive and take the initiative. Not so much as heads-up play does, but Rouah may just have what it takes to walk away with the bracelet.
