The first day of EPT Deauville 2011 is officially done and dusted. 419 players took part today hoping that they would still be around in a week's time to contest the final table.
It was not a great day for the British players as PokerStars Team Pros Vicky Coren and John Duthie both made early exits, the former running the nut flush into a straight flush. We will also be crowning a new champion as Jake Cody was eliminated towards the end of the day in a massive four-way pot.
Indeed, it was to be the home nation that had all the fun today as Nicolas Babel, Bruno Launais, Julien Muel and former WSOP Main Event finalist Antoine Saout all had good days finishing well over the 100,000 mark. But the chip leader overall was Guillaume de la Gorce, the Frenchman finishing with 196,800 at the very top of the pile.
Tomorrow will see a whole host of new players including Team PokerStars Pros Liv Boeree, Arnaud Mattern and ElkY. Also, making his European debut under his real name will be Viktor "Isildur1" Blom while Daniel Negreanu has also shown up to hopefully repeat his good performance in Vienna.
We'll be back tomorrow at midday once more with all the action from Day 1b, see you then!
We will be crowning a brand new champion in Deauville this week, as reigning champ Jake Cody has been eliminated in a four-way preflop all-in showdown. Yup, that's right - four-way.
Manuel Bevand:
Jake Cody:
Joseph Stykemain:
Angelo Magro:
Board:
Cody hit the rail with a shrug, as did Bevand. Stykemain picked up the side pot and finished the hand on around 50,000; Magro kissed his cowboys before tossing them back to the dealer, and took the 55,000 main pot.
Pedro Mendes Muller and Yannick Autuaa got into a raising war blind or blind resulting in a preflop all-in, with Autuaa holding a decisive advantage with his ahead of Muller's .
The board brought something for bother coming but the turn and river helped neither and Yannick had been 3-Autuaa-ed. (sorry)
Pedro Mendes Muller is up to about 150,000.
What looks like to be our current chip leaders...

It looks as though one of either two things has happened. Either Jack Ellwood is so confident he no longer needs to be at his table or even leave his chips there as a token of his belief in winning this tournament...
Or, he's been knocked out.
Well, Christophe De Meulder might be able to bust a few moves in celebration after he doubled up again, pushing for 6,775 over the top of Rabtsov Kirell's 2,000 button raise. A call and a race between the Belgian's and the Russian's .
The board? A quickly emphatic puts the Team Pokerstars Pro back over the 15,000 mark.
A gigantic three-way cooler just now saw Christophe Castel delighted as he tripled up to what looked like 70,000; Drasutis Narmontas was somewhat less happy as his stack only increased very slightly from winning the side pot; and Turkyilmaz Selim has very few reasons to be cheerful as he's been crippled to just 6,000.
