Pagano Leads The Final 24
Welcome to Day 5 of the 2012 PokerStars.fr EPT Deauville. After five days (with two Day 1 flights), the starting field of 889 players is down to just 24 hopefuls, each with the goal of navigating his way to the final table. Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano is on top of the pack with 3,561,000. He began Day 4 near the bottom of the chip counts, but vaulted up the leader board in less than one level yesterday and never looked back.
Play is scheduled to continue at noon local time, about an hour from now, and will commence until the final table of eight players is reached. Keep it here at PokerNews throughout the day for all of the exciting action as it takes place.
