Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Cheong was in big trouble and the flop of 
didn’t help. He then watched as the 
on the turn ad 
on the river were no help as he made his way to the exit.

"Good Fold!"
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Martin Jacobson opened the cutoff for 6,200 and Igor Pihela made the call from the small blind.
Pihela check called a 5,400 bet on 
and another 7,000 on the 
turn.
The 
on the river made Pihela bet out 22,000. After some thinking, where Jacobson looked sincerely puzzled, the two-time EPT runner-up (and he won some tournament in Vegas last month as well) folded his hand.
Another huge grin on Pihela's face, as we had seen some times before today already; "Good fold!" Pihela showed 
for the back door straight after he received the chips in the pot.

Clicking Buttons to the Extreme
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Mike Leah opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from the cutoff seat and Martin Kabrhel, who had just arrived, made it 14,100 to go. Leah tanked for a good two minutes and then clicked it to 34,400 only for the Czech to five-bet to 76,900. Leah found a six-bet to 116,000 and Kabrhel then asked if this was correct.
Together with Mike McDonald and the dealer they did the math and Leah had to make it 119,400 in total. Kabrhel made the call and the foreplay already took a mere 10 minutes. On the 
flop, Leah bet 34,000 and was called before putting his opponent all in after the 
turn. Kabrhel folded and lost almost two third of his stack within one active hand played.

I Can Play Both!
Level 5
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
2013 PokerStars.com EPT Prague €10,300 High Roller champion Ivan Soshnikov is multi-tabling both the Eureka Prague Main Event as well as the EPT Super High Roller event which are running simultaneously on either sides of the room.
With the main event on the money bubble, and with the chip average, Soshnikov is making the most of his time in the high roller event.
In a recent hand, Sorel Mizzi opened to 5,100 from the cut off. Soshnikov bumped it up to 15,000 from the small blind and the bet was called.
The flop came down 
and Soshnikov threw out a continuation bet worth 21,000. Mizzi called before the dropped on the turn.
Soshnikov took a little longer to bet out 56,000 which was called as the completed the board. Soshnikov didn’t hesitate, moving all in for around 235,000 in chips. Mizzi thought about his decision for a minute before eventually mucking his hand.
We will see how Soshnikov fairs in both tournaments as the day progresses.
