The tournament is down to 16 players, and so a redraw is taking place. Instead of stopping play for the day, the organization decided to play this level out. Expect more action from Deauville in a couple of minutes.
Lithuanian player Matas Cimbolas is deep in the EPT Main Event and the way he got here is a familiar story as the PokerStars Blog reports.
