More players have arrived including Team PokerStars Pros Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Jake Cody.
The field includes many of the GPI award winners from last night including: Adrian Mateos Diaz (Rookie of the Year/Spanish Player of the Year), Govert Metaal (Dutch Player of the Year), Stephen Chidwick (UK Player of the Year), Toby Lewis (Online Player of the Year) and Joni Jouhkimainen (Finnish Player of the Year).
The button opened for 500 and called a three-bet from Govert Metaal in the small blind. The two players saw a flop of 
. Metaal led out for 1,050 from seat 1 and then called a raise to 3,500 from the button in seat eight. With the dealer between them there was no chance of a stare down so they would have to rely on the board and bet sizing. The turn card was the 
and when Metaal checked he faced a rainbow bet, that is a bet that includes one of every colour, which in this case was 6,625. Metaal pondered this turn of event but made the call. The river was the 
completing any flush draws and again Metaal checked. It was double rainbow time as another bet one of each chip for 6,625 came his way. It took a long time for Metaal to make the call, but call he did. He could only give the briefest of chuckles and muck his cards when his opponent turned over 
.
An early piece of bad luck has proved very costly for Niall Farrell. When we joined the action, it looked as though Farrell had called a raise on the 
flop before checking the 
turn against Aleksandr Denisov.
Denisov bet 16,500 and Farrell made the call to see the on the river where the Scot checked again. Denisov bet 22,300 and Farrell thought for about twenty seconds before calling.
Denisov showed 
for two pair and Farrell could only shake his head and manage a wry smile. The latter was left with just 800 chips and busted shortly afterwards.
So, out. More shocked than tilted. Hand was absurd (will tweet) so can't feel bad. Gonna jump in 1k #heart #beerFollow @Firaldo87poker
With so many young guns sporting hoodies, sunglasses and i-pads these days it’s good to see one high roller representing the old Texas road gambler look. Canadian Glen Cymbaluk is looking the part with his cowboy hat perched atop his head. OK, he's got the mirrored shades on as well, let's see if the i-pad comes out later.
Looks like David Vamplew is enjoying his time in Deauville and he is hoping for more success in this high roller tournament.
Been grinding #eptdeauville hard, got 2 turbo cashes and main+hr satellite wins. High roller todayFollow @davidv1213
The small blind limped and Vamplew from the big blind made it 800 to go. They saw a flop of 
and when it was checked to Vamplew he bet 1,000 and took it down.
We’re under way at the High Roller and the tables are slowly filling up with 28 players so far. Play begins when there are three players at the table and there are a few tables where two players are kicking their heels.
About to start the highroller here at #EPTDeauville, field looks decent but kind of small, 50k at 200bb, vamoFollow @Firaldo87poker

The main event may be getting down to the nitty gritty end of the tournament but for the European Poker Tour's high stakes players, it's time for the high-roller event.
Last year Vojtech Ruzicka beat Timothy Reilly heads-up for a first prize worth €313,000 on a final table that also included Martin Jacobson, Bryn Kenney, Steve Silverman and Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel.
The high-roller satellite last night drew 116 runners and made 16 seats. EPT winners David Vamplew, Anton Wigg and Dominik Panka were among those whose who qualified for today's tournament. Other players expected to play include Steve O'Dwyer and Toby Lewis, the latter having won Best Online Player at the European Poker Awards last night.
The tournament begins at 1pm local time and we're expecting to play between eight and ten one-hour levels today. It's also a single rebuy tournament so expect a bit more gamble in those early levels from some of the wealthier players!
