Like all EPT stops, Deauville offers a great deal more than poker to players who participate, including fine cuisine highlighted by seafood fare, picturesque seaside views, and a rich cultural history.
Take a promenade with Laura Cornelius of PokerStars.tv to see more of both Deauville and neighboring Trouville, a.k.a. the "Parisian riviera" over on the PokerStars blog.

Rasmus Agerskov in the small bind got into a very brief raising war with big blind Pawel Brzeski who he covered by a significant amount. Brzeski moved all in, and having taken a couple of minutes to calculate his pot odds (and all that equity related shenanigans) he made the call with 
against the 
of the at risk Brzeski. “Slow roll.” Joked another player at the table of the time it took to decide to call. The board ran out 
and Brzeski was his way out of the tournament.
The flop was reading 
and Hugo Felix had fired out a bet of 6,000 before Eric Sfez made it 18,200 behind him. Felix made the call to see the 
on the turn.
The Portuguese player now checked and Sfez fired out 18,200 a second time, Felix tanked and then made the call once more with only around 25,000 remaining.
The river was the - a seemingly blank card. Felix checked a final time and Sfez thought for a moment and counted out a sizeable clump of 1k and 5k chips that seemingly would be enough to cover Felix. Sfez lifted the stack of the chips and held them in midair and was about to put them on the felt when Felix shouted "Call!"
Instantly, Sfez moved his arm back and the dealer quickly called the floor for a ruling. The tournament director came over, and, having been informed of what occurred, announced to the table that Sfez would still have all his options since he did not put the bet on the table.
Sfez then opted to check behind and Felix quickly left the table, quite distraught at the ruling. The floor staff turned over the latter's hand - it was 
for a turned full house. Sfez held onto his cards while continuing to talk in French to the floor. A second tournament director came across and repeatedly reminded Sfez to either table or muck his hand, as he was now wasting time but Sfez continued to talk. The Frenchman was given a one-round penalty and told if he didn't stop arguing and give up his cards then it would be increased to a two-round penalty.
Finally, Sfez mucked his cards and Felix, who still hadn't returned to the table, was awarded the pot.
The only lady in the tournament today, French PokerStars qualifier Marie Furstoss, has just spilled her last chips.
We didn't witness the hand and thus asked former table mate [Removed:203] what had happened. Mueller told us that someone had raised in front of her and someone called before action was on Furstoss. With about thirty big blinds left she squeezed all in, a move we had seen her make before.
This time she wouldn't get away with it though. The initial raiser had jacks and wasn't about to forfeit those. He made the call and won the battle against Furstoss her ace nine off suit.
No more ladies in the tournament, we expect more ladies on Day 1B.

Jerome Huge opened the pot and got a call from Eric Theissen in the cut-off. Jannick Wrang on the button had other ideas though and raised to 3,650. Huge called and Theissen made what looked like a reluctant fold. They saw a flop of 
. Huge checked to Wrang who followed up with a bet of 4,100 only to face a check-raise to 9,500. Wrang released his hand.

UK PokerStars player Christopher Day was next to tangle with Zimnan Ziyard. We joined the action on the river of a board showing 
as Day faced a bet of 12,600 from Ziyard. It took a minute or two for Day to call and when Ziyard showed 
a relieved Day turned over the winning 
and gave PokerNews a quick recap of the action saying it would have been a lot more interesting if he had bet the flop having seen his opponents cards. “It went check, check on the flop. Then check-raise on the turn. I bet 3,200 and he made it 8,200.” Ziyard called over from the other end of the table, “You almost folded.” “Yeah.” Day agreed.
Nitsche didn't bring his own set of chips to Deauville, but he did counterfeit someone just a couple of minutes ago.
On a 
board both players checked. The river brought the 
into play and Konstantin Tolokno checked again from the blinds. Nitsche bet out 4,500 and Tolokno made the call.
Nitsche showed and won the hand as Tolokno mucked his 
with a rather sad looking face.

Alessio Isla is the current chip leader with around 140,000. The Italian got his latest boost in a pot against Jean-Yves Malherbe. They were two of the five players who took a 
pot in a single raised pot. It checked to Isla on the button he bet 1,850 and only Malherbe made the call. On the 
turn Isla bet roughly 3,000 but no sooner had he put chips in the pot then Malherbe had folded.
