Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
With around 8,000 chips in the pot on a board of K♦3♠K♣2♦, Marcin Zawadzki in the big blind fired out a bet of 5,000, and Krzysztof Krawczyk called from the hijack.
A J♦ on the river brought in the backdoor flush draw and Zawadzki slowed down with a check, then Krawczyk put out a small bet of 2,600. Zawadzki didn't need to think for too long before he gave it up, and Krawczyk was awarded the pot.

Boris Berthomet opened to 1,000 from early position and was called by Raymond Forsland on the button. Ladislav Kellner then squeezed to 4,500 from the big blind, which got a call from Berthomet and a fold from Forsland.
Berthomet called a 2,000 bet from Kellner on the 3♥3♠K♥ flop and both players checked on the 2♣ turn.
The A♣ completed the board and Kellner quickly fired 12,000 into the middle. Berthomet let his hand go and Kellner collected the pot without showing.

Alexander Fradlin had opened from under the gun and Mehdi Bilem had shoved for around 8,000 from middle position. Brandon Mifsud shoved in his stack of just over 16,000 from the big blind, and Fradlin called, which put two players at risk.
Mehdi Bilem: 9♦4♥
Brandon Mifsud: A♣8♥
Alexander Fradlin: A♥Q♠
Bilem was on a wild adventure, but surprisingly had live cards and decent equity against the holdings of his two opponents. However, a 3♥K♦K♣ flop kept Fradlin in the lead, but an 8♠ on the turn paired Mifsud's eight to send him out in front. Nothing changed on the 5♦ river, which left Bilem out the door and gave Mifsud a stack of around 40,000.

Anton Siden and Martin Surovec got their chips in the middle from the blinds, with the former at risk for his stack of around 20,000.
Anton Siden: 9♣9♦
Martin Surovec: Q♠Q♦
Siden was way behind and didn't pick up any help on the 3♦4♣4♥ flop. A 7♠ on the turn left him with one more shot at survival, but the 5♠ river wasn't the nine he needed, and he was eliminated.

Filip Mikulas opened to 1,000 from middle position and was called by Robin Zagorski in the hijack, Barny Boatman on the button, Alessandro De Michele in the small blind and Samy Hazan in the big blind for a five-way pot.
Action checked through on the 4♥3♥9♣ flop and it was checked to Zagorski, who bet 2,200 on the 2♠ turn. Boatman called and everyone else folded.
The 7♠ completed the board and Zagorski fired 6,200 into the middle. Boatman tanked a bit, but eventually decided to look Zagorsky up.
Zagorsky motioned that Boatman was good and Boatman revealed 10♠3♠ for just a pair of treys. Zagorsky sent his hand into the muck and Boatman was sent the pot.
At another table PokerStars ambassador Georgina James was spotted taking her seat. James said she is looking forward to playing the mixed-game championship later in the tour, but will first take her shot at the Eureka Main Event.
