The hand that ousted Dermot Blain just a few spots off the money was somewhat of a cooler.
He was in the big blind with

The champion from two seasons ago, Lucien Cohen, is still in with a chance of a historical double after he got lucky to survive.
He was all with and dominated by Noel Gaens' 
. The Parisian had a face like thunder as the board ran out 
. That was until the river made him a Broadway straight and all of a sudden his mood changed.
"The rat, the rat!" he shouted whilst pointing at his plastic pet rat, "Thank you very much!"

Mikael Bilan has just been put through the emotional wringer here in Deauville, thanks to the old suckout re-suckout!
Bilan open-shoved from middle position and Kevin Miannay decided to look him up. Bilan turned over 
and Miannay was trailing with the . Miannay took the lead on the 
flop, flopping top pair and a flush draw for good measure. Bilan looked sick but his demeanour soon changed when the

It's all getting very tense here in Deauville, we're down to just 123 players. Each hand is taking a little more time as the short stacks dwell just that fraction longer.
Abdelkader Kaychohi opened to 8,000 from under the gun and the action passed around to Mathew Frankland on the button. Frankland set the price to play at 21,500 and after 30-45 seconds of deliberation Kaychohi folded.
Anthony Picault is not our bubble boy but he wasn't far from it.
Picault moved all-in for 25,000 from UTG+1 and Andreas Roos called from two seats to his left. The other active players folded in tun and the cards were revealed.
Picault:
Roos:
Picault was down to two outs because, as he was folding, Abdelkader Kaychohi showed ace-nine. Those two outs would remain in the deck as the board ran out 
to send Picault to the rail in 124th place with 120 places paid. Ouch.
