A Few Chip Counts

Martins Adeniya has taken the chip lead by eliminating Philippe Ma with nines full of jacks. Ma called all in on the river and mucked when he saw Adeniya's hand.

Chasing The Crown

WPT and WSOP title holder James Dempsey.
WPT and WSOP title holder James Dempsey.

After a 2010 WSOP Bracelet win and victory in the WPT's Five Diamond event this past December, Brit James Dempsey is here in Deauville chasing poker's Triple Crown.

Right after the break we caught him making it 4k from early position, then calling one short stack's less-than 10k shove, only to find himself dominated with {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} vs. {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

A ten in the windown looked promising, but the entire flop revealed a queen as well and after bricks on the turn and river, Dempsey was forced to peel a few chips off his stack and hand them over to his still-short opponent.

He seemed less than bothered by it all, considering he's still sitting on 300k+, is among the leaders and retains a legitimate shot at his ultimate goal: The Triple Crown.

Brammer Leads!

Christopher Brammer just picked off yet another short stack to pull up around the 360k mark and into the chip lead.

He raised from the button with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, shorty shoved his last 40k with {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and after Brammer made the call his nines held.

No Reclaiming the Title for Cody

Jake Cody
Jake Cody

Jake Cody is a poker superstar these days, but two years ago no one knew who he was. Then he took down this tournament and went on to claim poker's Triple Crown within an 18 month period.

He was desperate to do well here again, and had a great day one. Today was not so good and he informed the Twitterverse of his exit: "Lose tilting hand with TT then shove 77 into QQ and TT, no miracle :( #EPTDeauville #gg."
