Team PokerStars Pro Sandra Naujoks has been eliminated. Short-stacked, she moved all in preflop with 
and was called by Pascal Leyo with 
. The door card was an ace and although Naujoks picked up a gutshot, she couldn't hit it on the 
board.
This leaves Matthias De Meulder as the only remaining Team Pro still in the tournament.
[Removed:237] just knocked out Claude Metais in the first of a spate of exits, Horni's A-K holding against the short stack's K-T.
Florian Ribouchon, on the same table as this action, knocked out PokerStars qualifier Roman Korenev with 
defeating 
on a 
board.
Finally, Karim Abdelmoumene's 
eliminated Mihai Manole, the latter's 
didn't stand a chance when the Frenchman flopped quads on a 
board.
The rat gnaws on as Lucien Cohen rivers the nut straight at EPT Deauville. Cohen is one of three former champs still in (at least we think so). Read the article at PokerStars Blog.
Rabah Ait Abdelmalek was short stacked and into shove mode, post bubble.
He was lucky to chop the first time he was all in; his ace-three chopping with Tobias Peters' ace-ten when two pairs ran out on the board.
Shortly after he shoved with 
and was called by Walid Bou Habbib holding 
. The board ran out to make the latter trips.
The bubble having burst, action has picked up immediately following players' return from the break. Along with shenanigans.
Herve Santais was just now all in with his short stack against two opponents, Paul Guichard and Romeo Robert. The remaining two players were vying for the pot as the reached the turn with the board showing 
. Meanwhile, Santais had stood and even put on his coat, suggesting his chances of keeping his seat and surviving the hand were dim.
Guichard bet 15,000 on fourth street and Robert called, then both checked the river. Guichard showed 
, but his pair was beaten thanks to that river card as Robert tabled . Then with a bit of fanfare Santais revealed his cards one at a time… first the 
… then… the 
!
Santais had flopped the nut straight and rivered a flush. Needless to say, neither Guicard nor Robert appeared amused at the sight of Santais's hand. To be fair, we came on it in the middle and so can't say for sure whether or not Santais may have gone all in blind. In any case, he's now removed his coat and retaken his seat.
The bubble has burst in the EPT Deauville main event, but it took it’s time, and players had to fill the moments between hands with something…

Just as all the other players were heading off to their break, many hadn't noticed that there was still action going on over on table 9.
Christophe Lesage had opened to 8,000 preflop, getting called by David Susigan before Said Basri moved all in for his last 10,500. Yury Gulyy flat-called and since it was an under-raise Lesage and Susigan could also only call.
The 
board checked down the whole way and all four tabled their hands.
Lesage: 
Susigan: 
Basri:
Gulyy:
Susigan took the pot and Basri finished in 121st place. Since the vast majority of the players had already gone on break, they'll receive a happy surprise when they return in about five to ten minutes.
