Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Emin Bora Kurtulus opened under the gun and got one call from Alejandro Lococo in middle position.

The A♥3♦Q♠ flop landed and Kurtulus continued for 3,500. Lococo called and the 10♣ rolled off on the turn.

Kurtulus didn't take long before making another wager of 6,000. Action was then on Lococo who briefly went into the tank before moving all in having his opponent covered. Kurtulus snap called and was at risk.

Emin Bora Kurtulus: A♠10♠
Alejandro Lococo: Q♥Q♣

The J♥ river would not improve Kurtulus and he hit the rail just after late registration ended.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to Pascal Hartman in late position who raised to 4,000. He got one call from Thomas Santerne in the big blind.

The 10♠K♠K♦ flop landed and action checked to Hartman who continued for a 2,000, a single big blind. Santerne called and the dealer dealt 8♣ turn.

It was checked to Hartman again but this time he slowed down and checked back on their way to 4♦ river.

Santerne then took the lead and bet out for 10,000 and action was on Hartman. He took his time and then opted to go for a raise of 35,000. Santerne only took a moment before sending his cards to the muck and Hartman dragged the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Damir Gabdullin in late position who moved all in off a short stack for his last 11,500. It then made it to Kuljinder Sidhu on the button who took his time and did some accounting before also moving all in. The blinds got out of the way and they were off to a full board, heads up, with Gabdullin at risk.

Damir Gabdullin: A♣K♣
Kuljinder Sidhu: Q♥J♥

The full board ran out 10♠4♥2♥3♣8♦ and Gabdullin earned a pure double with just ace-high to stay alive in the Eureka High Roller after getting a preflop protection bet from his opponent.

Kuljinder Sidhu	152,000

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a few folds the action made it to Levente Szabo in middle position who raised to 6,000. It folded to Vladas Tamasauskas who is coming off of a huge series at the PokerGo Cup in Las Vegas and he opted to defend his big blind.

The 9♥6♠9♣ flop landed and Tamasauskas snap-checked it over to Szabo. He thought for a moment and then continued for 4,500. Tamasauskas went deep into thought for about two minutes before putting in a check-raise to the tune of 10,500 with only about 25,000 back.

Szabo seemed to be in a tricky spot and mulled over a call for close to two minutes. After some time he thought better of it and mucked his hand. Tamasauskas scored the pot with little resistance and got some much needed chips in the process.

Levente Szabo	145,000
Vladas Tamasauskas	58,000 58,000	58,000
