While the EPT Main Event rages on, there's just one other event currently also in progress, the €1k Turbo. And while the Main Event might be an exquisite and long meal, sometimes you're just craving an In-N-Out Burger, the PokerStars Blog reports.
Russia is the third strongest country in terms of participation here at the EPT 11 Deauville Main Event with 32 participants, however two of them just ran out of chips. Ivan Soshnikov had suffered a beat to his stack not long ago whereas Pavel Gonchakov was one of the bigger stacks after Day 1b.

We caught up with the man behind the GPI during EPT Deauville, Alex Dreyfus, to talk about the upcoming French, American and European Poker Awards, the Global Poker Masters and how to get more ladies to play poker.
While Christopher Frank busted on the feature table not long ago, two EPT champions have also been added to the bustout list for Day 2. Anton Wigg and Frederik Jensen were those casualties. While the circumstances of the Wigg bust are unknown, a short-stacked Jensen got it in with

Stefan Schillhabel opened from late position for 3,800 and Tobias Peters sat to his direct left three-bet to 9,700. The blinds mucked and it was back to Schillhabel. The German reached for more chips and four-bet to 23,300.
Peters, from the Netherlands, clarified the amount and cut out a five-bet to 45,700. No posturing from Schillhabel who quickly let it go. Peters laughed saying he had the better hand but Schillhabel didn’t look in the mood to join in the chat as the pot slid over to his neighbour.

After a raise from early position we saw Simon Appleby shoving all in. Right behind him Oleh Okhotskyi followed suit and shoved all in as well. The initial raiser folded and it was time to show down the hands.
Appleby had 
and had about fifty percent chance of winning against Okhotskyi's 
.
The 
board posed some threat to the Brit, without actually hitting his Ukrainian opponent. The 
on the turn was a blank but the 
on the river wasn't. Appleby's deuces counterfeited and he soon enough hit the rail.
