The first starting day of PokerStars EPT Deuville Main Event saw a field of 339 players. 221 of those players survived the day and will get one day's rest before it's time to get back into the action. The chip leader, Kristijonas Andrulis from Lithuania, will bring 162,600 chips to Day 2. Only 400 chips behind him is Philippe Ma, from France, followed by his fellow countrymen - Elie Payan (141k) and Julien Claudepierre (128k).
Unfortunately not many familiar poker players can be found in the top of the Day 1a field. Let's hope that Day 1b, which starts in a few hours, will take care of that "issue". We will return with an update as soon as Day 1b comes to an end. Stay tuned!
