After a busy day of poker yesterday, Day 1b of the €1,100 Main Event at PokerStars Eureka Hamburg is due to kick off today, Thursday 4 July 2024, at 4:00 p.m. local time at Casino Schenefeld, Hamburg.
Day 1a is already in the books and attracted a total of 166 entrants, with 40 players bagging and tagging for Day 2. With a prize pool of €157,700 already generated, the event looks primed to be a potential record-breaker.
Kent Roed of Norway emerged as the chip leader, amassing an impressive stack of 279,500. Roed was closely followed by Frenchman Gregory Kehren (269,500) and Andrzej Powalka (252,000) of Poland.

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.

PokerStars' popular streamer and all round good guy Lex "L. Veldhuis" Veldhuis is getting ready to be the centre of attention between July 9-15 when the latest edition of Lex Live takes place in sunny Barcelona.
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. It is the third time Lex Live has run since its inception in 2019. Lex Live 1 took place in Namur, Belgium, in March 2019, with London hosting Lex Live 2 in late September 2019. 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.

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.

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.
