Daniel Koloszar opened 2,500 under the gun, and Jason Wheeler three-bet 6,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Koloszar and he tossed in a call.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦9♦9♥, and Koloszar checked to Wheeler as he continued for 5,000. Koloszar raised to 13,500 and Wheeler jammed for about 29,000. Koloszar wasted little time making the call and both hands were tossed on their backs.
Jason Wheeler: A♣A♦
Daniel Koloszar: A♠Q♥
Wheeler was in great shape until the Q♣ fell on the turn, filling Koloszar to a full house. The J♣ river was no help for Wheeler as he stood up from the table.
Picking the action up on a flop of K♣8♠9♠ with approximately 20,000 in the pot, Marcello Miniucchi checked his option to Christoph Neuerer, who slid out a bet of 7,000. Miniucchi raised enough to put Neuerer's entire stack at risk, and Neuerer confirmed he was all in for 38,000.
Christoph Neuerer A♣K♥
Marcello Miniucchi J♦10♣
Neurer was in good shape with top pair versus an open-ended straight draw. The K♦ turn and 2♥ river brought no help for Miniucchi and Neurer scooped a full double up.
PokerStars Ambassador Parker "tonkaaap" Talbot joined Day 1a of the Eureka Main Event at the last possible moment and thus sat in the big blind with a fresh stack of 30,000 chips.
After Maksim Petrov raised from under the gun, Talbot pushed all in and received a call from the initial raiser.
Parker Talbot: 3♥3♦
Maksim Petrov: 8♠8♦
It was looking like Talbot's adventure would last only a few minutes when the board ran out K♦10♠2♣Q♦, but the miraculous 3♣ river saw him hit a set to win the pot and rake in a double-up.

Samy Dubonnet opened to 3,000 from middle position and found one caller in Daniel Budin in the big blind.
Budin check-called a 2,500 bet from Dubonnet on the 2♣K♠J♦ flop and an 11,500 bet from Dubonnet on the 8♣ turn.
The K♦ completed the board and Budin checked once more, prompting Dubonnet to fire a final barrel for 27,000 total. Budin went deep into the tank before eventually deciding to let his hand go and Dubonnet dragged the pot without showing.
Roman Ulanov raised to 3,000 from early position, and he was only called by both players in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♠K♣2♦, and Ulanov continued with a bet of 3,500. Junichi Kato folded at this point form the small blind, but Tarik Ozdemir made the call in the big blind.
But after Ulanov fired a second barrel of 12,000 on the turn 3♦, Ozdemir went into the tank. He eventually check-folded, and let the pot go in Ulanov's direction.
