Welcome to Day 2!

[user66118]
[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.

Level: 10

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ante: 100

No Praz for Second

[user46392]

With the flop reading {2-Clubs} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts}, a gentleman in mid position bet out 6,300. Praz Bansi on the button eyed him up for a minute before announcing all in. Instacall.

Bansi: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Mr. Mid Position: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

Turn: {8-Spades}

River: {3-Hearts}

The Bansi is bust.

Aguiar Comes Out Swinging Clubs

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} {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

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} {10-Clubs} for the turned flush. Aguiar is up to 145,000 after starting the day with 93k.

Brecard Bricks It

[user46392]
[user46392]
We caught up with Julien Brecard betting 5,700 from the button on the river of a {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-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} {Q-Diamonds} face up.

"Nice fold," said his opponent, turning over {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw.

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

Ludo Playing Games

Overnight big stack Ludovic Lacay limped in, and it folded around to Javed Abrahams on the button, who made it 3,500 to go. Back to Lacay, who promptly reraised to 16,400.

Abrahams thought about it for a while, and attempted to less-than-minimum raise. He was put right.

"How much do you have?" asked Lacay, but disappeared into the tank when it transpired that Abrahams had rather a lot left behind. Eventually he passed, flashing a sheepish grin at the press.

Abrahams is up to 115,000.

Kabrhel Encounters Trouble

[user140525]
[user140525]
Several tables from the adjunct room have already broken, but Martin Kabrhel is still sandwiched into the corner over there. We spotted him staring at a flop reading {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and considering his opponent's 13k bet. Kabrhel asked for a count of the man's stack (A: around 100k), asked again for clarification, then slid out 28,000.

The guy studied Kabrhel while drinking an entire bottle of water. When it was empty, he asked how much Kabrhel had (A: enough to comfortably cover him.) "Ok, all in," he said, moving his chips across the line. Kabrhel removed his sunglasses, shook his head, and flicked his cards toward the dealer. After giving up his hand, he still has more than 100,000.

Shooting Blancs

[user46392]
[user46392]
Peter Eastgate raised to 3,000 in the cutoff and Cristiano Blanco called out of the small blind to see a {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} flop.

Blanco checked it and Eastgate asked how much he had left - it was around 40,000. Eastgate bet - and the dejected Blanco folded faster than an origami master going for the world origami speed record.
