The sun has set on the second of two start days. A total of 768 players gave EPT Deauville their best shot, surpassing last year's field by more than 100. The approximately 400 players who will return for Day 2 are playing for an impressive first prize of € 847,000.

Many more pros turned out for Day 1b than Day 1a. The stacked field included WSOP Main Event winners Greg Raymer and Peter Eastgate. Raymer didn't survive the day, but Eastgate, Jonathan Aguiar, Shane Schleger, Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Freddy Deeb will all return on Day 2 with sizable stacks.

Ludovic Lacay and Luca Pagano are both hovering around the 185,000 mark and top the chip counts at the end of the day. Neither have enough chips to overtake Day 1b leader Robert Cezarescu, who brings 216,900 to Day 2.

Action resumes on Friday at noon CET. Tune back in to catch the table-pounding action (apparently a French custom) as they play toward the money.
