Day 2 Concluded Some Time Ago; Levi in the Lead

Well, despite our recent connectivity problems, it's been a super-fast day here in Deauville. In just six levels our 395-strong Day 2 starting field has shrunk to 133. This, of course, means that when we come back tomorrow we will be just a few places away from the money.

Yes indeed, only 104 places pay out in this mega-tournament, and among those who will definitely not be placing are a number of big names. Arnaud Mattern, Alex Kravchenko, Katja Thater, Jean-Robert Bellande, Jon Aguiar and Antoine Saout were all among the hordes of the busted today, and go home empty-handed.

Still very much in the running, on the other hand, is a sizable clutch of household names. ElkY, Peter Eastgate, Juha Helppi, Dario Minieri and Freddy Deeb all made it through to Day 3, and all will be hoping to accumulate and dominate come tomorrow. France's own Ludovic Lacay, winner of this year's French Poker Award in the Best-Player-Under-26 category won a monster pot late in the day to catapult him into the lead and managed to stay there until he was pipped at the last minute by fellow Frenchie Nicolas Levi. A last-minute surge saw Levi sail away with the chip lead - he goes into Day 3 on 648,000.

We'll be back at noon GMT+1, so join us then to see who ends up on top, and who goes home with nothing.
