Brecard Bricks It

[user46392]

We caught up with Julien Brecard betting 5,700 from the button on the river of a {4-Hearts}

board. The gentleman in seat 2, who seemed to have previously checked, now raised to 19,000, prompting a lengthy dwell from Brecard. Eventually he folded {A-Diamonds}

face up.

"Nice fold," said his opponent, turning over {3-Hearts}

for a busted straight draw.

An unhappy Brecard is down to less than 35,000.

Aguiar Comes Out Swinging Clubs

[user140525]

Jonathan "Fatal Error" Aguiar didn't waste any time this afternoon, raking in a big pot in the first few minutes of the level. Ljubomir Josipovic raised to 3,200 from middle position, and action folded to Aguiar, who defended his big blind.

Flop: {6-Diamonds}

Aguiar checked, and Josipovic bet 6,100. Fatal Error made the call.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

Aguiar bet out 6,500, and Josipovic called.

River: {5-Spades}

Jonathan appeared to study the board, then carefully counted out 16,300. Ljubomir quickly tossed in the calling chips, then just as quickly tapped the table and mucked when he saw Aguiar's {Q-Clubs}

for the turned flush. Aguiar is up to 145,000 after starting the day with 93k.

Welcome to Day 2!

[user66118]

Day 2 has dawned at the EPT Deauville, and we're back inside the casino and ready for another long day of poker.

Right around 400 runners are still in contention as the real push toward the money begins. We hope to whittle this field down as close to 100 as we can before the six levels are through. We're set to kickoff in just a few short minutes, but if the past two days are any indication, it may be a little while before things get rolling.

Sit tight, we'll be right back when the cards go a'flying.
