2024 Eureka Hamburg
The flop read Q♦10♥8♥ and around 5,300 was in the middle. It appeared likely Denis Drobyna had checked, Andre Hegendorf had put out a bet of 1,500, Jesper Karlsson had called, and Drobyna had check-jammed for 22,600.
Hegendorf was deep in thought, spending most of the time peering at his opponent Karlsson who was still to act, trying to get a feel for the strength of his hand.
Eventually another player asked for the clock, and as it was nearing its conclusion Hegendorf folded, and Karlsson quickly followed suit. Hegendorf sighed and intimated he would have called if he was closing the action. Drobyna scooped a decent pot.

Around 7,000 was in the middle on a completed board of A♦7♣4♠8♥8♠, when Bjorn Arvidsson fired out a bet of 4,200, sending his opponent, Heiko Fiehn, a PokerStars Power Path Silver Pass winner, deep into thought.
Fiehn eventually released his hand, and he'll be hoping to get matters moving in the right direction soon.

The board read 5♣Q♠2♣5♠6♦ and 2,500 was in the middle. Andre Hegendorf led out with a bet of 1,000, only to be faced with a raise to 3,200 by Osman Kaya.
After quite a bit of deliberation, Hegendorf, seemingly reluctantly, sent his cards to the muck.

Lex Live Barcelona runs from July 9-15 at the Casino Barcelona, the same venue that hosts the prestigious European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona each year.

Lex Live 3 was scheduled for April 2020, but the world shut down amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lex Live 3: Barcelona features a €170 No-Limit Hold'em Knockout, a €240 Mystery Bounty, an €880 High Roller, and the crown jewel: a €440 Main Event.

Online poker's most prestigious low-stakes tournament series is returning to PokerStars from July and bringing with it $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. The 2024 edition of the ever-popular MicroMillions sees 208 affordable events take place between July 7-21 in what will be a fortnight of incredible poker action.
Where many poker tournament festivals focus on high-stakes events, often with tournaments commanding four, five, or six-figure buy-ins, the MicroMillions events start from only $1.10 and top out at a still affordable $55.
However, just because MicroMillions tournaments don't cost the earth to enter doesn't mean there isn't plenty of money to play for. The smallest guaranteed prize pool offered during the series is $1,500, and there are five events with six-figure guarantees, including the $500,000 guaranteed MicroMillions Main Event.
