Action has been slow to start the day at the outer table with not much significant action taking place. Each player has been opening to either 48,000 or 50,000 and there have only been three three-bets so far. For the most part the action has consisted of raise and take pots.
Georgios Kapalas opened to 48,000 from the cutoff and found a call from Benjamin Buhr on the button.
The flop came down 
and Kapalas continued out for 62,000. Buhr stuck around to see fourth street. The dealer put out the 
on the turn and Kapalas slowed down with a check. Buhr fired out a bet and Kapalas quickly let his hand go.
Buhr increased his chip lead to 2.74 million while Kapalas' stack fell down to just 389,000.

Joseph Carlino was under the gun and he put out a raise to 50,000. Joseph El Khoury was in the next seat over and he three-bet all in for 403,000 total. Action folded back to Carlino and he let out a sigh before announcing a call.
Carlino: 
El Khoury: 
The flop came down 
, keeping Carlino's sixes in the lead. That all changed on fourth street, though, as the 
hit the felt and paired El Khoury. The 
finished off the board and he was awarded the double up.
El Khoury now has 863,000 to his name while Carlino has dropped to 2.2 million.

Cards are in the air for Day 5 of the PokerStars.fr EPT Season 11 Deauville €5,300 Main Event.
Nível: 24
Blinds: 12,000/24,000
Ante: 3,000
Yesterday the PokerStars.fr EPT Deauville Main Event played four full 90-minute levels, disregarding the initial goal of playing down to 16 players. And so one more player got eliminated; Adrien Guyon missed his flush draw and couldn't out run Matas Cimbolas' flopped trips. When level 23 ended there were 15 players left, lead by flamboyant France Poker Series regular Joseph Carlino.
The goal for today is to at least play down to a final table of eight, but they just might play on when that milestone is reached. As this is not a televised event like Monte Carlo or the PCA, there's no set stage to be made here today. During recent EPT's they played on till only six players remained, so that just might happen today as well.
Here are the next five levels on the schedule:
| Small Blind | Big Blind | Ante | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 | 12,000 | 24,000 | 3,000 |
| 25 | 15,000 | 30,000 | 4,000 |
| 26 | 20,000 | 40,000 | 5,000 |
| 27 | 25,000 | 50,000 | 5,000 |
| 28 | 30,000 | 60,000 | 10,000 |
The remaining fifteen players are already guaranteed a big pay day. With €27,850 already locked up, it's just looking ahead for them right now, all glancing at that first prize of €543,700.
| Position | Prize | Position | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €543,700 | 7 | €85,530 |
| 2 | €338,700 | 8 | €58,820 |
| 3 | €242,390 | 9 | €46,400 |
| 4 | €187,550 | 10 - 11 | €38,080 |
| 5 | €147,760 | 12 - 13 | €31,830 |
| 6 | €115,650 | 14 - 15 | €27,850 |
