PokerNews will continue the coverage for Day 2 of the Eureka Main Event, which picks back up on Saturday, December 10 at 12 p.m. local time. Play will start at Level 18, with blinds at 4,000/8,000/8,000.
With the bubble having burst, play is over for the night. All players that found bags are in the money. A full recap and chip counts will be posted shortly.
Dalibor Hill opened from middle position. Action folded to the very short stacked Daniele Sunzeri in the big blind who got all the chips in the middle as they awaited the tournament director's sign to run the hand. Two other short stacks survived the same hand while they awaited.
Daniele Sunzeri: 
Dalibor Hill: 
The board ran out ace high with no help for Sunzeri, so he was left on the outside looking in as the rest of the field celebrated making the cash.
Four Hands into hand-for-hand play have taken nearly 30 minutes with very little to report. Short stacks have doubled multiple times, the bubble still waits to burst.
With 118 players remaining and 117 making the money, it's time for hand-for-hand play.
Yosuke Nakazawa opened to 25,000 from under the gun. Giuseppe Petti made the call on the button, as did Ivaylo Panev in the big blind.
The flop came out 
. Panev checked, Nakazawa continued for 25,000. Both other players let their cards go facing his big stack and a looming bubble.
Blinds 4,000/8,000/8,000
A player in the hijack opened to 18,000 and Grzegorz Kozieja made the call on the button. The rest of the table folded.
The flop showed up 
. After his opponent led for 34,000, Kozieja called.
The turn came a [3sh]. The cutoff player moved all in for about 190,000, which GKoziejasnap-called.
Cutoff: 
Grzegorz Kozieja: 
Kozieja had his opponent drawing dead with the flopped set, scooping the large pot to catapult up the leaderboard.
Blinds 4,000/8,000/8,000
Mohamed Madani opened to 13,000 from early position. Cenk Oguz made the call in the hijack. On the button, Duman Vural moved all in for 61,000. Madani made the call, Oguz got out of the way.
Duman Vural: 
Modamed Madano: 
At risk, Vural saw the 
run out to put a straight on the board, but his king gave him the bigger straight and the winner.
