Martin Staszko is down to two T5000 chips, one T1000 chip and his lucky rabbit mascot. The 2011 WSOP Main Event runner up is going to need all the rabbit’s feet he can get to dig himself out of that hole.

Walking past the table, Ludovic Geilich pointed to his mobile phone and then showed us that he was already checking for flights. It may be a bit prematurely, but the Brit is actually down to only 5,200 chips. A few more familiar faces have been spotted on the tables around and their counts can be found below as well.

Pierre Neuville is among the older players in the field, but he's clearly also among the toughest. At the age of 71 Neuville's coming of his best year in tournament poker, including a runner-up finish at the World Series of Poker, and we talked to him about poker providing a way to stay young.
Simon Berge three-bet shoved for his last 5,100 chips with 
and was called by initial raiser Vincent Attal with 
. The board ran out 
for somewhat of an overkill and Attal walked over to the other side of the table with the words "sorry man".

Nikolaus Teichert had been bluffed off a bigger pot before, but the German is very well back on track. His 2,500-bet was called by an opponent on the river of a 
board and the German turned over 
for top pair. That was apparently good enough to scoop the pot and the WSOP bracelet winner now has chips to put pressure on the table.

Bernd Vogelhuber, a qualifier from Germany, seems to be bemusing his table mates. Every time we pass by the table he seems to be in a hand and putting players to a decision.
A while earlier Artem Litvinov told him, “Don’t bluff.”
“What is bluff?” Vogelhuber responded, to which Litvinov, who would never resort to such tactics, informed him, “Betting when you don’t have a good hand. It’s very bad.” Perhaps he had in mind and earlier hand where Litvinov bluffed the river and Vogelhuber called him with two-pair.
On the river of a board reading 
Bruno Lopes bet 1,300 but quickly laid it down when Vogelhuber raised him to 3,350. On the very next hand Erwann Pecheux opened for 500 and called a 1,200 three-bet from Vogelhuber.
On a board of 
Pecheux opened the door with a check and Vogelhuber stormed straight in with a bet of 1,700. Pecheux looked pained, he wasn’t the first, but mucked his hand.
Vogelhuber finished 24th in the Deauville Poker Cup for €1,720 earlier this week and is currently over his starting stack and having a lot of fun.

Tobias Peters was kind enough to fill us in on the details of a rather big hand which was going on over at table 37.
According to Peters, a player in early position opened to 550 and his neighbor called. Aleksii Khoroshenin over called from the cut off and now Sören Ingwart Vöhrs in the big blind squeezed to 2,500. All players called to grow a sizable pot.
The flop came 
and Vöhrs bet out 5,500 to follow up on his pre flop aggression. Just Khoroshenin in position made the call.
The turn came the 
and Vöhrs checked to Khoroshenin. The EPT Vienna champ slid out a bet, though we're not entirely sure how much it was. Vöhrs check raised all in (for what appeared over 30,000) and Khoroshenin needed a bit of time to make up his mind. Eventually he made the call, only to find out he needed quite some help to eliminate his German foe as Vöhrs showed the goods with . Khoroshenin had kind of gotten out of line with his .
The on the river was a card as meaningless as they could come, and Khoroshenin was beaten down to about 10 big blinds.

Defending EPT Deauville champion Sotirios Koutoupas is down to less than starting stack after losing the vast majority of chips to Pavel Gonchakov. Another big stack on the table is David Jaoui, who called the preflop raise of the Greek to see a flop of 
. Both players checked and the 
turn saw a raise of Koutoupas from 1,700 to 4,400, eventually enforcing a fold from Jaoui.
Glancing over to the Greek he joked back, pointing at Gonchakov: "he took all my chips".
