Two all-ins later, both times with queen-ten, both times with miracle rivers, Than Trong had got himself back up to 3,600,000. That put him in third above survivor Yorane Kerignard, the victim of his second double through, who was left with 1,725,000. Kerignard who had performed an incredible short stack display bust the next hand getting [qs][9s] in against Kursevich's [kc][js] leaving three just three players; Than Trong and Paul Guichard very short stacked. Kerignard pockets €260,000.

A few hands later and Trong shoved [kd][ts] for a little over three million and was called - and beaten - by Kursevich with [ac][jc] taking us heads up. Trong takes home €328,000

Kursevich - 23,145,000
Guichard - 3,365,000

This could be over very quickly. Follow the live updates as they happen.

Vadzim Kursevich had a long think about coming over the top but eventually passed his hand. Jais made the call and quickly shoved the [6c][8h][9s] flop for his remaining 2,200,000. Than Trong was similarly expedient in making the call.

Than Trong: [kc][kd]
Jais: [ah][qs]

Jais caught a queen on the turn but failed to get any more help on the river. Four players remain as we go into the dinner break.

The payouts
1. €875,000
2. €557,000
3. €328,000
4. €260,000
5. Bruno Jais, France, PokerStars.fr qualifier, €200,000
6. Olivier Rogez, France, €155,000
7. Luca Pagano, Italy, Team PokerStars Pro, €110,000
8. Mick Graydon, Ireland, PokerStars qualifier, €67,200

After starting the day in second place with 5,670,000, Kursevich has been up and down more than the Belarusian Ruble (currently 8,372 to the dollar) and is currently languishing in third place out of five with 3,565,000 - but that's not a result of simply blinding out. Play started badly with a four million flip gone wrong to Vuong Than Trong and another big pot lost to Bruno Jais, but 'VadziMoney' pulled himself back into the action with a series of bluffs and value bets - notably stealing a chunky pot after barrelling queen-high into Than Trong across two streets. Then he doubled Yorane Kerignard calling the Frenchman's shove light with [ah][4h]. Kerignard's pocket sixes held up. Then he doubled him up again, this time calling with ace-queen into queens.

At no point has Kursevich slowed, stalled or taken a rest. If we'd sat marking off the number of pots Kursevich had played (we haven't) we could tell you his VPIP (we can't). What we can say is that he's been playing. A lot. It's as if he thinks he's the best player at the table, which if he does he'd have good reason to.

Kursevich was part of a five-way chop in the WCOOP main event last year as well as claiming a third-place finish at EPT Berlin for €300,000. We saw a different Kursevich there; a tighter, more conservative performance where Kursevich was a fringe character hiding beneath a large hood in the shadow of the likes of Ben Wilinofsky, Max Heinzelman, Martin Jacobson and Joep van den Bijgaart. Here in Deauville the hood is down and Kursevich is carrying himself as if he feels he should win. Would it be fair to say the EPT Berlin final table was stronger than the final eight here in Deauville? I'd say so and I'm guessing that Kursevich would agree which may be why he's been pursing pots so aggressively. Should Kursevich have won any of those all-ins thing could be very different here. Than Trong, for one, wouldn't have his 9,320,000 chip lead, he'd be out.

Moments after this post went up Kursevich opened to 525,000 from the small blind into Paul Guichard and snap-called when Guichard shoved his big blind. Kursevich held [ah][ks], Guichard [ac][qd]. That held to win Kursevich the 7,640,000 pot putting him back into second place and Guichard out of the top two for the first time today.

We've just seen a first for the European Poker Tour, perhaps even for poker itself. Never before has a player moved all-in by force, shoving in for his big blind because, well, that's all he had left.

It was as though Olivier Rogez felt better of himself than to submit himself to the misery of an academic departure; not for him the textbook shove with ten big blinds, nor with five, not even two. Rogez was happy to leave it to one.

The end had to come for Olivier Rogez

By now there was a lot of support (privately at least) for Rogez to fold one last time, a finger up at the established and traditional format for such occasions. Why not? A surrender with honour rather than the indignity of moving in with nothing for nothing and getting nothing. This was a way to go down in poker history as the man who cradled his stack to the grave, refusing to pay lip service to convention.

This is almost what Rogez did, his Jack-three worth nothing alongside Paul Guichard's Kings.

We may well forget who wins this event (work with me here) but the thing we might most remember is Rogez's departure, at least more than any other sixth place finisher.

Like Eric the Eel (Eric Moussambani), the swimmer from Equatorial Guinea, competing in the Olympic 100m freestyle event eight months after learning to swim; or like Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the British Olympic ski jumper, properly useless (we have neither snow or ski jumps in the UK) but prepared to hurtle down a mountain regardless; Rogez may not have meant to go out with such a whimper, but he lost no face in doing so, walking away with €155,000 and becoming something of a folk hero.

That's a win in anyone's book, particular for Rogez's who counted his qualification for this event as the highlight of his poker career.

Your sixth place finisher, Olivier Rogez.

It was probably the most dramatic moment of the final table so far, the double up of Yorane Kerignard in front of the home crowd.

Short stacked, Kerignard got his chips in with king-six, not the best of options but Kerignard was short of chips and time, moving in for 660,000. Bruno Jais called with ace-ten and tossed his cards into the middle for the dealer to display.

The flop came [qs][jh][4s] to force the abdication of his king, leaving only a six for survival, another king only serving Jais for a straight.

Yorane Kerignard

The turn came a deuce. Kerignard stood ready to leave, picking up his bottle of water as he did so, ready to take a long gulp.

Was this premeditated? A little theatre just in case his miracle card hit the river?

Kerignard took a gulp just as the six of diamonds hit the river. The Frenchman caught sight of it and nearly choked as his friends on the rail stood in unison to cheer, Kerignard pumping his fist as they did so, water going everywhere.

Casino staff, grouped together at the side of the stage looked on bewildered. This kind of thing doesn't usually happen at the slot machines or in the smoking cubicle. This is something different; this is the absurdity of a high stakes poker tournament.

Kerignard plays on.

The casino floor is not far away from the tournament room, just a short walk out the door and to the right where the main theme music to Jesus Christ Superstar blares out from somewhere. A Jesus Christ Superstar slot machine seems unlikely, even in secular France. But the sound carries to the door way of the tournament room, now dominated by the feature table as the main event once more assumes its status as the highlight of the day.

Right now it's enough for the spectators, more having arrived and assuming standing room spots technically beyond the limits of the rope line. All look like they'd accept a spare seat, but it may take the elimination of some of the French finalists to free up space.

The view from the rail

It's definitely gone quiet. It was quiet to begin with but the departure of Irishman Mick Graydon in eighth has done little to change the table dynamic. There's not a word spoken, a far cry from last year when Lucien Cohen often provided a running commentary to his friends on the rail, lobbing a stuffed rat around to boot.

Regardless the interest in these seven men is intense. The audience, although tired looking, stare at the TV screens as one, while a waiter, balding but with grey spikey hair above each ear, stops by to watch before heading back to the main tournament floors carrying bottles of water on a tray.

Luca Pagano departed next but elicited not more applause than the polite type that Graydon also got when he went, the main protagonists being either Paul Guichard or Olivier Rogez.

Pagano's demise came at the hands of Vuong Than Trong who opened under-the-gun for 220,000 with [9s][9h]. Pagano jammed for 1,660,000 from the cut-off with [ac][js] and was called finding himself slightly behind, 44.5% to 55.5%. The [qd][6d][qh] flop was no help but the [th] on the turn gave Pagano an additional seven outs; four kings for a straight and three tens to counterfeit Trong's pair and take the hand with his ace kicker. None of them arrived, nor an ace or jack.

Although he'll be disappointed not to make it further he can at least take some satisfaction in having reclaimed his number one spot at the top of the EPT Tournament Leaderboard.

I'm going to point out that this is not the official TLB points calculation but what I've roughly approximated. The Italian's final table finish puts Pagano up to around 5,545, some way ahead of Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier's 5,112.

7. Luca Pagano, Italy, Team PokerStars Pro, €110,000
8. Mick Graydon, Ireland, PokerStars qualifier, €67,200

The Irish online qualifier had started the day as the short stack with just under one million and had managed to get pull himself up to 1,350,000 but then his progress stalled. When he found [ac][9h] in middle position in an unopened pot with just ten big blinds, 820,000 at the 40,000-80,000 level, the PokerStars Supernova moved it in and was unlucky to run into the [ad][kc] of chip leader Paul Guichard.

The board never offered much hope to Graydon, a poker buddy of Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth, as it ran out [3c][4s][ts][qd][7c]. The Irishman was on his after the turn hit having accepted his fate as the last player to cash for less than six figures. Graydon shook hands with Guichard, then with Luca Pagano. That's three EPT cashes for 'BIGMICKG' this season.

With Graydon gone the focus is on Luca Pagano in seat 7 (1,740,000) and Yorane Kerignard in seat 8 (1,460,000) as the primary candidates for the next elimination. While Guichard's performance has been the most effective, Vadzim Kursevich has been the most active but the Belarusian has so far given chips to both Bruno Jais and Vuong Than Trong.

The bank of seating facing the stage is now full of spectators, most of whom seem to be attending to important business on their mobile telephones. A group of standing-room-only spectators has also gathered to one side of the temporary stand. It's not clear where their telephones are.

For the most part it's quiet in the tournament room, a solitary "yes!" breaks the silence from a Bruno Jais enthusiast in the crowd after his man won a small pot. The dealer change prompts one member of the audience to also leave while Thomas Lamatsch uses the brief pause to remove two of the gift bags left on the stage.

The rail at Deauville

As he does that Kevin MacPhee walks in the other direction on his way to the commentary booth to do colour analysis on EPT Live Lite, which you can follow here.

For the rail there is no commentary. Instead they rely on two high definition television screens on either side fo the stage providing a crystal clear view of the events taking place about three feet behind the very screen they're watching. The picture on the screen seem clearer that looking at the table itself.

Back at the table there has been little change, although Jais has moved into second place while Vadzim Kursevich drops to third. Neither are the focus of the cameras congregating to the left of the set.

One photographer, in the kind of jacket The Beatles wore for the cover of I Want To Hold Your Hand single, uses maximum zoom on his camera looking for shots of the most photogenic. Right now that's Paul Guichard, his long hair and youth making him the natural target, although if he has acne the lens, which extends to about a foot, should pick it out.

Suddenly a break in the norm. Kursevich calls Vuong Than Trong's all-in.

Graydon had anted down to 850,000 which he shoved all-in with from the cut-off over an under-the-gun raise of 120,000 from Paul Guichard. The Frenchman passed allowing Graydon to chip up to 1,100,000, which he then moved across the line a couple of hands later to steal Luca Pagano's big blind. That raise-and-take took Graydon up to 1,220,000, around 20 big blinds, a stack he seemed more than comfortable handling.

On the next orbit Graydon opened from the hijack to 135,000 and was called by Vuong Than Trong on the button. A 130,000 continuation bet on the [5h][jd][ac] flop was enough to scoop as he moved up to 1,350,000. Graydon has carefully negotiated his way through this tournament and it's going to be tough to shift him from this final table. He's still in last place with Yorane Kerignard above him with 1,846,000 but Graydon looks keyed in to the action.

Rarely does an EPT final table start on time and this one wasn't going to be the exception. At about 12.15pm it seemed most of the players were here, but there would be no start until at least 12,30pm.

Eventually the last eight were rounded up, Vuong Than Trong and Paul Guichard being among the last to arrive (Luca Pagano was here first). The introductions could now begin.

Lucile Denos of Bariere, and Tournament Director Thomas Lamatsch did the honours.
Lamatsch, a German, spoke in English while Denos, who is English, spoke in French, looking elegant in an ankle length burgundy gown.

Chips and plaques (out of view)

First up were the short stacks of Mick Graydon and Yorane Kerignard each carrying gift bags they had been presented with prior to their entry stage left. The story of Kerignard's humble beginnings in poker (inspired by poker playing singer Patrick Bruel) got some good natured laughs from the crowd.

Bruno Jais also received warm applause. The Parisian PR man has the most curious story of all coming into the final, here after what was basically a miss-click (see the profile of him here). It's almost too good to be true. It is true, right?

Chip leader Guichard was presented last. Arriving on stage carrying his gift bag and wearing an overcoat, the 19 year old looked like he'd just popped in from shopping.

Guichard is one of those with the largest cheering section in Casino Deauville, filled largely with French railbirds. There is at least one Italian, Pagano's girlfriend Elena, who for a moment was momentarily lost as a crowd of Guichardards (Guichardistas?) looked for seats. More people arrive, all dressed in the same clothes as Olivier Rogez.

One point of note. For the first time on the EPT French casino plaques are being used, each worth 100,000 chips. Kerignard shuffles the pile he has like a deck of cards.

The final table of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Deauville leg plays down to a winner today, the culmination of six days of poker on the Normandy coast. Watch all the action from Deauville on EPT Live Lite by going to PokerStars.tv.

Typically the Deauville leg conjures up a final table to remember, with victories for Lucien Cohen, Jake Cody and Moritz Kranich still fresh in the memory. Today's final should have the makings of another good one, with Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano reaching his seventh EPT final table and looking for that first elusive title.

Casino Deauville in the snow

Here's how the final table lines up...

Seat 1: Bruno "bebesse1" Jais, 49, Paris - PokerStars qualifier.fr - 3,450,000
Jais has been playing poker for nearly 20 years including annual trips - since 2002 - to compete in the World Series in Las Vegas. He plays both cash games and live tournaments and occasionally online. His favourite game is PLO8.

Bruno Jais

Jais, who manages a Paris PR agency, qualified thanks to a miss-click. He was planning to compete in a €10 tournament on PokerStars.fr but accidentally registered for a €500 satellite to Deauville instead - and he only had a €501 bankroll.

Besides poker, Bruno devotes much time to golf and his family.

Seat 2: Mick Graydon, 26, Dublin, Ireland - 960,000
Graydon's live poker earnings of $210,107 are dwarfed by the $1,126,450 he's won in online tournaments on PokerStars under the name 'BIGMICKG'. Graydon was the first player from Ireland to achieve Supernova Elite status.

Mick Graydon

"I used to play sit-and-gos but I made the transition to tournaments two years ago," said Graydon, who would have had the chip lead in Tallinn had Ronny Kaiser not beaten his pocket kings with his own ace-king. "I've played every EPT this season. It's brilliant to make the final table. It's why we play poker,"

The online qualifier is guaranteed at least €67,200 today, his third cash of the season, although he returns as the short stack.

"Playing a lot online you learn how to play short stacked," said Graydon. "I think I'm very strong at that so I won't be making too many mistakes."

Seat 3: Olivier Rogez, 34, Paris, France - 4,415,000
Rogez has never cashed in a poker tournament, and won his seat in a €770 live satellite in Deauville a month ago. Rogez, 34, who runs an office cleaning business in Banlieu, Paris, is amazed that he's gone this deep - but is determined not to get flustered.

Olivier Rogez

"I'm very very happy," said Rogez yesterday. "I didn't think I would get this far. Today was a lot of stress but now I'm going to rest and come back tomorrow calm and focused."

Seat 4: Vuong Than Trong, 21, Paris, France - 2,570,000
Computer science student Than Trong discovered poker two years ago at a party with friends. He plays mainly mid-stakes online cash games using the screen-name "Canard_laque" but decided to take part in EPT Deauville on the eve of the tournament after being persuaded by his friend Basil Yaïche that he could do well.

Vuong Than Trong

Throughout the event, Trong has been supported by members of the Club Poker French poker forum as has received advice on tournament play from experts such as Flavian Guenan and Clement Thumy. If he does well at the EPT Deauville final, he plans to take part in a lot more live events, as well as continue with his university studies.

Seat 5: Vadzim "VadziMoney" Kursevich, 24, Minsk, Belarus - 5,670,000
Vadzim Kursevich turns 25 years of age on Wednesday but already has a lot to celebrate having reached the EPT Deauville final table second in chips.

Kursevich has been playing poker for five years, plays live pot-limit Omaha ring games and MMTs. He also competes in the big online tournament series, being involved in a five-way chop in last year's WCOOP Main Event for a $750,000 payday. He has been proudly wearing his WCOOP final table jacket throughout this event.

Vadzim Kursevich

Kursevich's biggest live result came at EPT Berlin last season where he finished third, earning €300,000. He also came 28th in this season's EPT Barcelona event.

Away from poker, Kursevich likes to unwind by watching ice hockey and singing karaoke. Regarding today's final, he said: "I feel pretty comfortable - and ready to compete against my opponents. I've got some chips so we will see."

Seat 6: Paul "OMGpoloker06" Guichard, 19, Nice, France -PokerStars qualifier - 5,955,000
Guichard, who won his seat to EPT Deauville, is an up-and-coming player with good results on PokerStars.fr. He started playing poker with friends when he was 13. Once he could go online, he only made two deposits before building a healthy bankroll. Guichard also started playing live and once he graduated from high school decided to dedicate himself to poker and tennis. He says if he had to stop playing poker, then he'd resume his career as a tennis player.

Paul Guichard

His online winnings already total $140,000 including €13,000 for fourth place in the €500 PokerStars.fr "All Star Game".

His best live result came in Cannes last September where he won a side event worth €15,000. Guichard says he owes much to Clement Thumy, his coach for the last two years.

This was Guichard's first EPT but he says if he finishes in top four today, he'll plans to join the live poker tournament circuit.

Seat 7: Luca Pagano, 33, Milan, Italy - Team PokerStars Pro - 2,010,000
Pagano was one of the very first members of Team PokerStars Pro, joining shortly after the very first Deauville leg in season 1 of the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour.

Before taking up poker, Pagano studied computer programming and also dabbled in the stock market. After discovering PokerStars, Luca began playing at the free money tables, progressing swiftly to real money games.

Luca Pagano

But it's live tournaments where Pagano has really made his name. Deauville marks a record-extending 20th EPT cash for Pagano and his seventh EPT final table. His first was also here - at the very first EPT Deauville in Season 1.

Pagano and fellow Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier have been juggling first and second place in the EPT All-Time Tournament Leader Board for years but this result puts Pagano back on top.

Pagano's best live result was sixth place at the EPT4 Grand Final worth €337,000; he also came sixth at EPT Dortmund (€153,000) and sixth again at EPT Prague (€100,000) as well as numerous other deep runs. But it was on home soil that the popular Italian finally snagged a major tournament title, winning the PokerStars Italian Poker Tour event in San Remo last July, earning €210,000.

Pagano has nearly $2 million in live tournament earnings and currently lies sixth on Italy's all-time money list. He is being supported in Deauville by his fiancée Elena.

Seat 8: Yorane "viirusss" Kerignard, 26, Aix-en-Provence, France - 1,680,000
Yorane started playing poker after watching a television documentary featuring French singer and film star Patrick Bruel playing against online qualifiers. Now the 26-year-old industrial design graduate plays on PokerStars under the username "viirusss".

Yorane Kerignard

Favouring MTT events, Kerignard's first live cash came in 2009 when he finished fifth in a small buy-in event in Cyprus. But just five months later, he hit the big time, finishing fourth in the Season 6 EPT Copenhagen Main Event for DKr 1,050,000 (around €120,000).

The biggest cash of his career however came last October when he finished fourth at EPT San Remo to earn €130,000. He's also had a number of good EPT side event results including third in the Season 6 EPT Grand Final €1k no-limit hold'em event and fourth in the €2k event the following season.

Kerignard spends most of the year in Marrakech, Morocco, which allows him to play on PokerStars.com. Online, his best result was runner-up in the PokerStars Sunday 500 for $78,500; he also won the PokerStars Super Tuesday for $70,000 in 2009.

With just eight players remaining in the European Poker Tour Deauville main event, it's a Frenchman who holds the narrow lead as Paul Guichard bags up 5,955,000 after a speedy six-hour day at the tables. Luca Pagano meanwhile reaches a record-extending seventh EPT final table.

Guichard, who began the day with 1.7 million, excelled in what proved a frenetic day. No lead is insurmountable, but the Frenchman, known as one of the best players on PokerStars.fr, can only be filled with confidence heading into the last eight, poised for his career best live result.

Paul Guichard

Also reaching a second EPT final is Vadzim Kursevich, from Belarus, whose notable performance came in Berlin last season where he finished third. He will return as the main challenger to the lead, just behind Guichard with 5,670,000

Vadzim Kursevich

As Deauville woke to the sight of six inches of snow on the ground it was Luca Pagano, an old hand when it comes to reaching EPT final tables, who led with more than three and a half million chips.

Pagano knew it would be a tough day, and it was, the Team PokerStars Pro putting his tournament life on the line more than once on his way to the last eight and his stack reflects that, resting overnight on 2,010,000. Regardless of what happens for the Italian tomorrow his achievement is already phenomenal, this being his 20th cash and his seventh EPT final table.

Luca Pagano

Olivier Rogez was another player whose advantage at the start was gradually cut down by the time players bagged up chips. The rookie Frenchman lost several key hands today, showing the inexperience he's entitled to, dropping down severely until he managed to rally, restoring his stack to a respectable 4,415,000.

Olivier Rogez

Yorane Kerignard, who we have raved about all week and ever since witnessing his performance in San Remo earlier this season, returns as one of the short stacks with 1,680,000. The Frenchman is still on course to beat his previous best of sixth place, reaching his second EPT final table of the season. He may not have the chips but he has the desire and the experience.

Yorane Kerignard

Here's how the final table will line up:

Seat 1. Bruno Jais, France, PokerStars.fr qualifier, 3,450,000
Seat 2. Mick Graydon, Ireland, PokerStars qualifier, 960,000
Seat 3. Olivier Rogez, France, 4,415,000
Seat 4. Vuong Than Trong, France, 2,570,000
Seat 5. Vadzim Kursevich, Belarus, 5,670,000
Seat 6. Paul Guichard, France, PokerStars.fr qualifier, 5,955,000
Seat 7. Luca Pagano, Italy, Team PokerStars Pro, 2,010,000
Seat 8. Yorane Kerignard, France, 1,680,000

At EPT Prague Ignat Liviu reached tenth place. Here he was looking to put those demons to bed and reach an EPT final at the second time of asking. He nearly made it, but as the short stack with two tables remaining, the Romanian struggled to regain any traction, and departed in 12th place.

Ignat Liviu

Artem Litvinov at the final table would have proved irresistible for hacks looking for a good sub-plot. The Russian refrained from previous antics today, despite at one point tripling-up. But he did reach a career best 16th place finish, good for €26,000.

Artem Litvinov

The English duo of Chris Brammer and Rob Stain departed shortly after Litvinov, Brammer in 14th and Stain in 13th. When Sergey Baburin got the last of his stack in against Bruno Jais, drawing dead, it brought the day to a close.

Rob Stain

A last word about Bruno Jais who claims to be here by accident. Intending to play a €10 tournament online his mis-clicked and entered a €500 EPT Deauville satellite. At the time he only had €501 in his account.

Read all about the day at the links below as well as live coverage from the tournament floor here.

Vadzim Kursevich opened from the cut-off to 110,000 with [5d][5s] and Teichert defended his big blind with that ten-deuce. The German over bet 500,000 into the [9s][5h][2d] flop with bottom pair and Kursevich made the call with middle set. Well, you would. Teichert opted to bet the same amount, 500,000, into the [qh] turn. Kursevich tanked, perhaps debating whether he should try and get it in here and now, maybe simply trying to feign weakness for the action on the final street. He called again.

A second deuce fell on the river, the [2h], and Teichert slammed his hand down on the table to check. It handled like a don't-blufff-me-because-I'm-calling check. Kursevich slowly pulled out 875,000 and pushed it forward. Teichert made the call with his rivered trips. Kursevich tabled a full house and chipped up close to 5,000,000, now bearing down on Paul Guichard's chip lead.

A couple of hands later Teichert shoved with [ac][7d] and was knocked out by Bruno Jais with [as][ts]. From 2,800,000 to 0 in three hands. And it all started with the decision to defend his big blind with Brunson. That took us to ten, Etienne Moudaress' departure shortly after (to the indomitable Kursevich) leaves just nine players who break to one last table.

The final nine
