Takumi Odani kicked off the action with a raise to 2,000 from under the gun. Luc Ramos then called from the next seat over, as did Paul Covaciu in the cutoff.
Rene Keller then went all in for 10,000 from the button and Odani called before Ramos got out of the way. Covaciu also came along and a flop of 10♠8♥6♠ was dealt.
Odani checked before calling a 9,500 bet from Covaciu. On the A♦ turn, Odani checked once more before being faced with an all-in wager of 38,300 from his opponent. He thought it over for a minute or so but ultimately decided he could not fold and put in the call, leading to a three-way showdown.
Rene Keller: 7♦6♦
Paul Covaciu: A♥10♥
Takumi Odani: J♠9♠
Covaciu was ahead with his two pair, but Odani had a plethora of outs with his straight and flush draws. Keller was still drawing live as well, but the Q♣ river made Odani his straight, resulting in the elimination of both of his opponents.
By winning this pot, the Japanese player crossed the 200,000-mark and is chip-leading the field on Day 1a of the Eureka Main Event.

After 2023 EPT Paris FPS winner Daisuke Ogita was moved to the table, Eugenio Bastos and Adam Blazek found themselves in a blind versus blind situation.
On the A♦J♣4♠ flop, Bastos checked from the small blind, then called Blazek's bet to 1,000. Both players checked the turn 3♣ to find the 6♥ on the river, where Bastos checked again.
Blazek quickly bet 4,000, but he was called by Bastos with K♥K♠ who scooped the pot.

Three players brewed a pot of about 8,500 before the 8♠6♠4♦ flop, and all three players checked to the 5♠ turn.
Miguel Fluxa was first to act and dropped a bet of 1,500 across the line, which was matched by both Dieter Zwick and Roberto Corbelli.
The 5♦ paired the board on the river, and Fluxa continued with aggression, firing 6,200 across the line. Zwick instantly folded, and Corbelli took about 15 seconds before deciding to follow suit.

Petr Novotny made a raise to 2,500 from the button before Rui Martins went all in for 26,500 from the small blind. Novotny looked him up with the covering stack and the pair showed down.
Rui Martins: A♣6♣
Petr Novotny: A♠Q♦
It was looking like Novotny would add another elimination to his tally, but Martins was the only one to flop a pair on 6♥4♦3♦. The J♣5♥ runout remained clean for him and he doubled up to more than a starting stack.
Meanwhile, Novotny was left with just over one starting stack himself, after having reached the 100,000-mark but a few hands before.

Ricardo Graells opened to 2,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 4,500 by Takumi Odani in the hijack. Rene Keller called cold from the big blind and Graells called as well.
All three players checked on the 2♥Q♠7♦ flop and Keller checked again on the 8♠ turn. Graells bet 10,000, which got a call from Odani and a fold from Keller.
Action checked down on the 9♣ river and Graells tabled K♦K♣. Odani couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Graells.

After some preflop action, Niculina Grasu went all in for her final 8,000 chips from the big blind and found no less than three callers in Safwane Bahri under the gun, Petr Novotny on the button, and Luca Moschitta in the small blind.
Moschitta then created a side pot when he bet 4,500 on the 9♠5♣9♥ flop. Bahri quickly folded but Novotny stuck around with a call.
On the Q♦ turn, Moschitta checked to Novotny, who made a bet of 5,000 in response. Moschitta then jammed all in for 18,800 and a swift call followed from Novotny, after which all three players revealed their holdings.
Niculina Grasu: 5♠5♦
Luca Moschitta: A♥A♣
Petr Novotny: Q♠J♠
Grasu flopped a full house and was looking to quadruple up, while Moschitta was a big favorite for the side pot. The Q♣ river, however, saw Novotny hit one of his two outs to scoop the pot.
His higher full house awarded him with a big stack of almost six figures, while both Grasu and Moschitta left the tournament in a state of disbelief.

Ricardo Graells opened 2,000 under the gun, and Haievskyi Oleksandr jammed all-in for 20,600 in the hijack. The action folded back to Graells who paused for a few moments before shrugging as he made the call.
Haievskyi Oleksandr: A♠K♦
Ricardo Graells: 10♣10♠
It was a classic race and the 9♦5♣3♣5♠6♠ runout was no help for Oleksandr as he exited the table.
