Deeb Done
Shaun Deeb's EPT Deauville Main Event is over.
Heading downhill much of the day, his tournament finally ended in a hand that began with a 550-chip bet from a player in middle position. Deeb and two others came along for the ride and went four-ways to the 
flop.
It was checked around before the 
turn was revealed, a card which brought checks from one caller, the original raiser and Deeb before the fourth player in the hand made it 1,650.
Only Deeb called and after he checked the 
river, his heads-up opponent bet more than the 3,425 he had left in his stack.
Deeb tanked for a minute or two, mumbled something to himself and made the call for his tournament life. He was shown 
and the exit after mucking.

Mattern Pushes One Out
Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern is off to a nice start on Day 1a, now up to about 57,000.
On a 
board with three players in the pot, Mattern's bet of 2,100 chased away one opponent. When the 
hit the turn, action was checked to Mattern and he bet 3,650. His remaining opponent called again, but was soon faced with a decision for the rest of his stack (roughly 12,000) after checking the 
river. Mattern slid out about 35,000, getting his opponent to fold after about three minutes in the tank.

Top Pair No Good for Jacobson
Martin Jacobson owned the EPT last season. Well as much as one man could without winning an event. This season had not been so fruitful for him, until he finished 10th at the PCA for a cool $101,000.
He's not having much success today and just lost a pot to drop to 17,000 chips. In a four-way raised pot he called two streets with 
on a 
board. He was heads-up with Franck Kalfon by the river and the Frenchman checked behind on the last street with 
and took the pot.

Return of the King
While the early going seemed like tough times for 2010 WSOP Main Event champ and Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel, it appears he's turned things around.
Now sitting on a better than 39k stack his raises seem to be getting a lot more respect than they once did as well.
This evidenced by the fact the entire table ran off and hid when he made it 500 pre-flop in a recent hand and Duhamel was able to pick up the blinds and antes without much of an effort.
