Andrius Bielskis opened the hijack for 21,000 and his next door neighbor Saoud Mnahi in the cutoff shoved over the top all in for about 121,000. The player on the button folded but Omar Dahmani in the small blind seemed interested. The Frenchman reshoved for 182,000 total and Bielskis made the call to put both players at risk.

Welcome back to our ongoing coverage of the PokerStars.fr Eurpoean Poker Tour Season 11 Deauville Main Event! The starting field of 592 players has been whittled down to the final 36. Leading the way heading into the fourth day of play is Greece's Georgios Kapalas who bagged up a stack of 1.398 million.
While Kapalas holds the biggest stack of the room, tough competition remains hot on his heels. The second biggest stack belongs to none other than Season 6 EPT Berlin champion Kevin MacPhee. MacPhee is riding a hot streak on the EPT, coming off of a runner-up finish to Sebastian Pauli in the EPT London Main Event. MacPhee pocketed £308,500 for his impress finish and looks to add even more to his total lifetime earnings of over $4.2 million here in Deauville. MacPhee will bring 1.313 million into the fourth day.
Other familiar faces returning to the felt for Day 4 include Guillaume Darcourt (801,000), Ruben Visser (569,000), Benjamin Pollak (519,000), Ognjen Sekularac (392,000), and Sergio Aido (341,000). Team PokerStars Pro is represented by its last standing player: Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier. The French professional had a rough third day but still managed to put chips in the bag by the end of the night. Grospellier will return with 120,000 to his name, which is good for the third overall shortest stack in the room. Grospellier will be looking to spin his stack up early in order to be a force throughout Day 4 play.
Play kicks off at 12 p.m. local time where it is expected to play either four or five full levels. As always, PokerNews will be on hand to provide all of the latest updates from the tournament floor. Stay tuned!
