French poker with another kick to the nuts as Cercle Clichy-Montmartre closes

The live poker scene in France is as dead as Roy Orbison after officials applied enough pressure to see the last Parisian ‘gaming circle’ Cercle Clichy-Montmartre close this week. 

In March 2017, Jeremy Saderne beat 1,399 entrants in the €550 buy-in Winamax Poker Tour (WiPT) Main Event at Cercle Clichy-Montmartre for $105,579.

Fast forward.
