The last remaining Team PokerStars Pro, Jonathan Duhamel, has been eliminated and we are down to six in the High Roller.
Duhamel open-shoved for 55,000 from the cutoff and Steven Silverman asked how much the bet was.
"860,000" joked Duhamel, prompting laughter from the rest of the table.
Silverman called, as did Timothy Reilly in the big blind; it was not looking good for Duhamel.
The dealer spread the flop onto the table and Reilly check-called a 45,000 bet from Silverman. That was the last of the aggression as the active duo checked down the turn and river.

Reilly's pair of nines won the pot and resigned Duhamel to seventh place. Maybe with the €38,000 he can purchase a new leather jacket here in Deauville, to replace the one he misplaced a couple of nights ago.
Since losing THAT pot to Martin Jacobson, Alexandre Reard has been nursing a short stack. Those chips now have doubled in amount thanks to a double up through, ironically, Jacobson.
Jacobson opened to 40,000 in early position and the players folded around to Reard in the small blind. Reard announced he was all-in for 245,000 in total and this folded out Timothy Reilly and Vojtech Ruzicka. Jacobson was next to act and he called.

Reard:
A great time to find Big Slick as it had Jacobson's hand dominated. Neither player paired up on a board, but Reard's king-kicker came into play and was enough to double him up.
The PokerStars.fr High Roller event was originally scheduled to be a two-day event but after those two days and 21 levels of action it will roll over to a third day tomorrow.
A total of 51 players returned today and they were joined by two new entries meaning 53 players out of the 85 total were in attendance. By the end of the day Martin Jacobson finished top of the remaining six with 1,299,000 chips, and best in with a chance of claiming the €313,000 top prize.
All the remaining players will sleep well tonight as they know they are guaranteed a minimum €47,500. Here's the remaining six and how they stand coming back for day 3:

One player who won't sleep well tonight was the unfortunate bubble boy. Tibor Nagygyorgy shoved his short stack in with ace-ten but ran into two players behind him pocket jacks and pocket aces. Adrian Mateos had the jacks and was also eliminated in the hand but min cashed by virtue of having the larger stack.
Play will resume at 1pm CET tomorrow where the latest High Roller champion of EPT Season 9 will be decided.
