On one of the first hands of the day there was an all-in and a call on the feature table. Michel Pomaret moved all-in from under-the-gun for 277,000 and Eugene Katchalov made the call.

It's the fourth day of the PokerStars.fr European Poker Tour Deauville. It's the day the €10,000 High Roller starts but here we'll concentrate on the Main Event. 41 players remain and today we'll probably play five levels or down to 16. There's still three days to get to a winner so we're in no rush.
Ekrem Sanioglu is the man to beat. The Frenchman, originally from Turkey but living in France for 41 years, had 1.3 million to play with today. That's 130 big blinds, more than enough room for maneuver. Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov is close behind with 1,194,000 and he will most likely be at the feature table today. Back in 2011 he was close for the Triple Crown as he finished third in the EPT Barcelona Martin Schleich eventually won. He's feeling the pressure, today we'll find out how he copes with that.
At 12 p.m. local time the tournament continues with level 20 (5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante). PokerNews is ready to bring you all the updates and deliver you the best photos and interviews with all your favorite players. Get that F5 finger ready!
