Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano continues to assert himself here in Deauville.
He just spent a good four minutes in the tank, thinking about calling a 100k bet from David Lichentin with a little over 100,000 chips in the middle on a 
board.
Eventually Pagano called and Lichentin turned over 
as if he was sure his set was the best hand. It wasn't.
Pagano held 
and his straight was good.

Sometimes it's strange how players almost know what's coming before it does. Ayman was all-in against Patrick Nataf and he let out a sigh, and shook his head before the killer turn came down.
The hand started with an Ayman raisie to 18,000 out of a 70,000 stack from under the gun. The action folded around to Nataf and he took one peek at his cards before shoving. Snap call.
Ayman: 
Nataf: 
The board ran 
to make Natak a set on the turn.

Martins Adeniya sat down in his seat the second the dealer began tossing cards around the table.
Unfortunately, the dealer didn't quite catch that, and decided to declare his hand dead, since French gaming laws dictate players must be in their seats before the first card at the table is dealt.
Adeniya asked for the floor and since the floor person had seen him sit down in time, he was able to play. In the end, it folded around to him on the button and he made it 12k.
Rob Stain called from the big blind and the two went heads-up to a 
flop, where Adeniya fired out a 15k C-Bet. Stain called again and Adeniya bet again on the turn, making it 32k.
Stain called, but both players checked the river. Adeniya turned over , Stain mucked and a pot that almost wasn't, was suddenly Adeniya's.

James Dempsey's French adventure has come to an end. He open shoved for around 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Christian Togsverd on the button.
Dempsey: 
Togsverd:
The board ran 
.
The Brit turned the world but failed to find one of the outs of the river. This is only Dempsey's second EPT cash but expect him to be back for many more cracks at the EPT whip as he searches for the triple crown. He was very upbeat despite his loss as Foie Gras is on the menu again tonight.
