Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was on the hunt to become the first winner of multiple EPT Main Events, but his bid for another level of poker immortality came to a disappointing end just moments ago. Everyone in the spectators gallery and on media row were certain the Elk could pull off an unlikely double up after running his ace-queen into pocket aces, but it simply was not meant to be. ElkY's departure in ninth place leaves just Mike "Timex" McDonald in contention for a second EPT win.
Leading up to the unofficial final table of nine, the play was blistering fast and the action remarkably furious. By the time two levels had come and gone, ten players had made the walk of shame to the payout desk, looking for a check to help ease their post-elimination blues. The big names held on a bit longer, but Bruno Fitoussi, Freddy Deeb, and Alexia Portal would all fall just a few places shy of a spot in tomorrow's seating chart.
Teodor Caraba came into the day with the chip lead, and he'll be feeling that same wonderful feeling when he returns tomorrow. His stack of nearly 7 million puts him well out in front of the peloton, but it's not a runaway victory just yet. The final table is packed with danger, including the aforementioned McDonald, Craig "HU4ROLLZ" Bergeron, and Mr. Peter Eastgate, who rode the short stack admirably for much of the day.
The final table battle will commence at high noon GMT+1 on Monday, and it figures to be a good show. We'll be right here to catch every bad beat, busted flush, and broken dream as we crown a champion at the EPT Deauville.
Until then, bonsoir and goodnight!

Flop:
- ElkY found himself a flush draw. For the benefit of the cameras, there was a long, painful pause before the turn.Turn:
- now ElkY had a gutshot draw too. More pausing.River:
No cigar. The popular Team PokerStars Pro: France will not be gracing the official EPT final table in his home country, as he exits in 9th. Chip leader Teodor Caraba is now HUGE chip leader, on almost 7 million. Ladies and gents, we have our final table.

...And then folded. We remain nine-handed.
ElkY raised preflop and Michael Fratty called from the big blind.
Flop:
Fratty bet out 115,000 and seemed completely surprised when ElkY repopped to 310k. After some thought, he gave it up, shipping ElkY his first pot in a while.
Next hand, Fratty defended his small blind from a raise by Mike McDonald. The flop came
and both checked. Fratty took a stab at the pot after the on the turn, and McDonald folded.
