Break one record, that's good going. Break two in the space of a couple of days — that's something special.
The ever-popular Eureka Main Event and Eureka High Roller both crowned champions yesterday, with PokerNews on hand to pick up all the action.
Dutchman Pieter Theelen nursed his short stack to victory in the €1,100 Main Event, taking home €496,760 while Sander Ostlyngen took home €463,850 after winning the €2,200 High Roller.
Daniele D'Angelo raised to 300 and was three-bet to 1,100 by Stefan Nemetz, which Mehdi El Meray and Emin Mugulov called. The action got back to D'Angelo and he bumped it up to 5,800. Only Mugulov stuck around and check-called a bet worth 3,600 on the 
flop.
Both players checked the 
turn and the 
river paired the board for a second time. Mugulov now bet 8,500 and D'Angelo instantly sighed an "can I fold the aces? Hummm ...". One minute later, the Italian called and Mugulov tabled the 
, which D'Angelo had beat with
