Hey Jude!
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Irish Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth opened up the first pot following the break with a 475-chip bet, only to see an opponent on the button make it 1,225.
Ainsworth wasted little time four betting it up to 3k and his heads-up opponent shoved in for around 10k. Ainsworth snap called with 
and looked good to knock out his opponent, who showed 
.
However, the 
flop gave his opponent the lead. The 
turn made things interesting and the 
river earned Ainsworth half the pot, as he and his opponent both made Broadway straights for the chop.

Laggy Ludovic
Ludovic Lacay's loose-aggressive style of play has earned him close to $2 million in live tournament winnings and he's run deep here in Deauville before.
So it's never a surprise to see him throwing chips around and we caught him tossing a 500-chip bet in pre-flop from early position moments ago, which two players called.
The 
flop was checked around, but after one opponent led out for 1,025 at the turn, Ludovic and his other foe both folded.
Regardless, the often maniacal Frenchman is still off to a good start here in Deauville, inching up towards the 40k mark.

Flip and Away
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
We caught Patryk Slusarek leaving the building, and he briefly filled us in on his demise.
"I lost a race," was all he had to say on the matter.
Tight is Right?
Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov is playing things rather close to the vest here in the early levels.
He's still hovering around a starting stack after calling a 450-chip bet pre-flop, then quickly folding when his opponent made a 800-chip continuation bet on the 
flop.
