Day 2 Started

EPT Deauville High Roller Day 2

Casino Barrière de Deauville
Casino Barrière de Deauville

Welcome back to Day 2 of the PokerStars.fr European Poker Tour Season 11 High Roller at the Casino Barrière, the penultimate day of the tournament.

Yesterday saw a new record set for a High Roller in Deauville with 122 entrants made up of 101 unique players and 21 re-entries. Registration is open until 15 minutes before the start of play and it would be no surprise to see some of those who were knocked out yesterday fire a second bullet for the chance to win a huge pay-day. €10,300 will buy a stack of 25 big blinds with PokerStars Team Pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier amongst those who still have a chance to re-enter.

Eric Sfez, who won the EPT Season 8 High Roller in Deauville, is the man to catch with 315,300 chips. Jonathan Little is second on 283,100 and third is Ivan Luca with 244,300.

Other notables among the current 60 survivors still in the hunt include Joao Vieira (174,100), Vladimir Troyanovskiy (147,100), Ivan Soshnikov (137,900), Davidi Kitai (137,400), Robin Ylitalo (127,300)and the other PokerStars Team Pro Eugene Katchalov (124,700).

Cards are in the air at 12 p.m. local time kicking off at level 11 (1,000 / 2,000 / 300) and not too long after that we will be bringing you details of the prize pool. There are 10 one-hour levels of play scheduled again and the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will bring you all the drama as it happens. Stay tuned.

Goulder First to Fall

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After a min-raise to 4,000 by Tiago Martinho and a cold-call by Thomas Butzhammer, one further player called. Alex Goulder, who came into the day as shortest stack, squeezed all in out of the big blind. Martinho folded but Butzhammer reshoved to isolate successfully.

It was the {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} for the Brit and the {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} for Butzhammer. The board ran out {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} {2-Spades} and Day 2 ended for Goulder after only one hand.

Hecklen Gone

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Balazs Botond moved all in for his last 39,000 and Henrik Hecklen, one of the short stacks starting today who was on his second bullet, made the call.

Botond had {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Hecklen the {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

The cards ran out {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds} with the river delivering the fatal blow to send Hecklen to the rail.

Vamplew Back In the Game; Danchev Busts

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Dimitar Danchev had shoved a couple time before and got it through but this time David Vamplew moved all in behind him and Andrei Ivashkin made the call to put them both at risk.

Danchev: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Vamplew: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Ivashkin: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The final board read {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} and while Danchev was sent to the rail Vamplew almost tripled up.

It was all over by the turn of a {9-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} board as the Portuguese had made a nut flush.
