Tor Gammelgard is currently chip leader of the Grand Prix de Paris after day 3 of play, with well-known pros Freddie Deeb and Ram Vaswani breathing down his neck.

Play was very short on Wednesday as 26 players played down to 18. Thursday's session should be a bit longer, where the 18 players currently remaining play down to 6 players.

The Grand Prix de Paris was formerly a stop on the World Poker Tour until the government of France decided that the World Poker Tour would not be welcome in the country, due to their ties to online gambling.
