Dominik Nitsche opened for 300 and got one caller in the big blind.
Both players checked it all the way down to a final board of 
whereupon a check from the player in the big blind saw Nitsche place out a single T500 chip.
The player in the big blind at first looked sceptical, but after calling and seeing Nitsche’s winning 
a roll of the eyes saw his cards hit the muck and the pot awarded to Nitsche.

Jan Boubli, who won Barcelona's EPT in Season 2 for €426,000, opened to 250 from the small blind on his 3-handed table. The player in the big blind three bet to 800 and Boubli made the call.
The flop came 
and Boubli checked. His neighbor bet out a whopping 2.600 and Boubli folded rather quickly. The big blind now showed 
and received the chips from the dealer.
"Champion!" said Boubli with a somewhat angry voice. "Very good!" he continued before the big blind could say anything. "You know you're a champion!" said Boubli while raising his eyebrows and rolling his eyes one more time. The big blind just shrugged and started stacking.
Play is only underway for an our now, but Boubli already seems kind of agitated.

The day just got a little more interesting as Marcin Horecki decided to play. Well, not that much more interesting, but he did just sat down.
Also in attendance is Walid Bou Habib who finished runner up here in Deauville two years ago to Remi Castaignon.
Decided to change my plans and play 1A of EPT Main Event today rather than tomorrow. Lets have some fun with the big guys ;)Follow @MarcinHorecki

Eugene Katchalov has recently sat down as the number of player steadily increases, now up to 162 entrants, no doubt looking to finish one place higher this time around.
The Team PokersStars Pro came agonisingly close to the title here in Deauville last year, finishing second for €379,500.

Giuseppe Zarbo and Erich Tedeschi took a flop of 
in a raised pot. Zarbo was first to act and he fired out a bet of 875. Tedeschi quickly called from the button to see the turn.
The dealer put out the

Zarbo rolled over 
for a flopped top pair of aces. Tedeschi took one look at his opponent's cards before flinging his own to the muck. Zarbo pulled the pot and now has about 35,000 in chips.

Dominik Panka had been biding his time since he sat down but he found a hand he liked under the gun and opened for 300. His bet saw a succession of folds until it got to the player in the small blind who three-bet to 725. Panka made the call and it was heads up.
The dealer spread a flop of 
and Panka called a bet of 500. The turn card 
saw no action but on the river 
the player in the small blind threw out 700. It didn’t take long before Panka called and it took less time for his cards to hit the muck when he was shown the

Most players hadn’t even taken their seats at EPT Deauville when Ognyan Dimov picked up aces on the very first hand of the day. He raised, was re-raised, and then what happened? PokerStars Blog watched every players dream (or nightmare) play out and you can read it right here.
Leonid Markin, who won EPT Prague's €50,000 High Roller for €771,360 last December, is playing today and is off to a reasonable start. He's up from the 30,000 starting stack, let's keep it that.
He was just seen checking a 
flop after having opened under-the-gun. The big blind had already checked, and Markin's other opponent behind him checked as well.
The on the turn was for free and the big blind tossed in 400 in chips. Markin glanced over to the third player involved before calling. Markin's left hand neighbor folded and Markin and the big blind saw a river.
The 
made for two pair and an ace on the board, and the big blind bet out 375. Markin made the call without having to give it too much thoughts.
The big blind showed 
for not much of anything, Markin tabled 
and received the chips in the pot.
