Andras Nemeth has soared past the 100,000 chip barrier after doubling through Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov.
On a flop, Katchalov lead for 3,000 from the small blind and Nemeth raised to 8,000 from the big blind. Katchalov composed himself before moving a stack of 5,000 chips forward — enough to put Nemeth all in. Nemeth quickly called.

Nemeth was nicely in front and that is where he stayed as the turn and river fell and respectively, boosting Nemeth to 103,000 and reducing Katchalov's stack to 45,000.
The cards are in the air for day two. French gaming law requires that all players should be on an equal footing in the tournament, and since this is a one re-buy event, the players who bought in today have to have at least one opportunity to re-buy.
Jonathan Duhamel and Christian Rudolph are the only new players and they need that chance. The problem has been solved by allowing players to re-buy if they bust on the first hand of the day and the first hand only.
JC Alvarado will hope to be toasting another successful day
After a long day's play yesterday 51 players return for Day 2 of the PokerStars.fr EPT Deauville High Roller Event hoping for another long day. Registration is still open for the first level of today so we may see some new faces try their luck; we may also see some of the returning short stacks bust and use their second bullet if they haven't already done so.
Vladimir Troyanovski flopped quads early on against Roberto Romanello and hardly looked back as he ended the day as chip leader on 266,000. Close behind are the familiar faces of Kevin Vandermissen and JC Alvarado.
Since registration is still open until play starts we have no news on the prize pool but we'll post that as soon as we have. Cards will be in the air at 12pm CET.
