Lacay Sets Up Moser To Take The Lead

Jannik Moser opened to 6,000 in the hijack and Ludovic Lacay three-bet to 18,500 from the small blind. Moser called, landing an {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Lacay bet 20,000, Moser called, and the {4-Hearts} followed on the turn. Another bet from Lacay, this time 36,500, was called by Moser. When the {10-Diamonds} hit the river Lacay fired a third bullet, this one for 100,000.

Moser called pretty quickly, but mucked when Lacay tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for a set of kings.

Big Stacks, Small Raises

Both Brit Martins Adeniya and Frenchman Ludovic Lacay have massive stacks, especially when compared to the others at their respective tables.

As a result, it's really no surprise to see them raising their fair share of hands and picking up a lot of pots uncontested. But what may surprise you is amounts they are opening up for.

While the 3x raise was all the rage a few years ago and the 2.5x raise became the norm over the last couple of years, both Lacay and Adeniya seem to be opening most of the hands today with minimum raises - A strategy truly popularized by Eric Liu with his fourth place finish at EPT London in 2008.

It seems the bigger the stacks and blinds get, the smaller the raises become.

Jim Slip

James Dempsey's stack is down a little after he failed to shake Olivier Rogez off hand. By the conversation after the hand had completed it seemed as if Dempsey had three-bet an early position raise from Chris Brammer. Rogez cold-called from the small blind, and that scared off Brammer.

We picked up the action on the turn where Rogez check-called a 26,500 bet from the Brit. The river was dealt to leave a final board that read {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Rogez checked again, as did Dempsey after a couple of minutes thought.

Dempsey opened {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and lost out to his French opponent's {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

Triple Up!

Jean Yves Malherbe has just about tripled up to a spot among the leaders after a massive hand here in the day's first level.

We caught the aftermath, but it appears he got it in with pocket nines against David Lichentin's pocket rockets and Sebastien Boyard's {k-}{j-} before flopping a set.

In addition to vaulting him up towards the top of the chip counts, the hand left Lichentin crippled and Boyard broke.

Ari Out

Ari Engel's day didn't last as long as he would've liked. He was heads up to a {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop with Tobias Peters and check-raised all-in for his final 66,800 with {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades} . Peters took his time and made the call with {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to seal the American's fate.

Last Star Standing

Luca Pagano is the only Team PokerStars Pro left in the EPT Deauville Main Event.

He's also a good bet to cash considering he holds the EPT record with 19 main event cashes lifetime.

Pagano's pursuit of cash number 20 got off to a good start today as he three-bet PokerStars Qualifier Douglas Ferreira's 6,500 open, making it 14k in just the first few hands after the call to shuffle up and deal.

Ferreira laid it down and Pagano is off and running here on Day 3.
