A day of reckoning awaits for Germany today at Euro 2024 in their mouth-watering quarter-final clash with Spain, while the same applies to any poker players hoping to book their spot in Day 2 of the €1,100 Main Event at PokerStars Eureka Hamburg.
Day 1c, the final starting flight, is due to kick off at 4:00 p.m. local time Friday, July 5, at Casino Schenefeld.
Two starting flights have already been completed, attracting a total of 374 entrants, generating a current prize pool of €355,300. With big numbers expected today, the event looks set to be a potential record-breaker.
Axel Junker of Germany (421,500) is the current overall chip leader, having bagged 140 big blinds, and he holds a comfortable lead over his closest challengers, Kent Roed of Norway (279,500) and Mengshi Tian (262,500) of China.

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.

Denys Drobyna opened to 300 under the gun and received calls from Simon Keating on the button and Philipp Zeyns in the big blind.
On the A♠3♣Q♣ flop, Zeyns checked and Drobyna continued with a bet of 300.

She's PokerStars' newest Ambassador for Women in Poker, and Kerryjane Craigie was all patched up as she welcomed female poker players to a special 'Ladies Night' at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas.
In her first official engagement, she welcomed female players on dinner break from the World Series of Poker Ladies Event and others, including from the Women's Poker Association (WPA), of which Craigie is a board member.
As well as continuing to champion female poker players through her monthly games at the Hippodrome Casino in London where she is Director of Poker Operations, Craigie spoke about how her new role will impact women's poker and how it will contribute to positive change and improvements in the playing experience for women at the tables.

A player limped under the gun and Huso Besic raised to 300, receiving a call from Christian Ballstadt. Marc Fehsenfeld then produced a three-bet to 1,000 from the small blind. The limper folded, but both Besic and Ballstadt came along for the ride.
On the A♥6♥J♦ flop, Fehsenfeld continued with a bet of 800, and both of his opponents called.
The 6♠ rolled off on the turn, and Fehsenfeld fired out a bet of 1,500, which again failed to shake off either opponent.
The 9♠ river completed the board and was checked through. Fehsenfeld showed A♣10♠ for a pair of aces.
When he did this, Besic claimed he had not checked. The dealer and both of his opponents were clear they thought it was a clear check (for the record PokerNews agreed).
Ballstadt then turned over A♠K♦ for a better ace than Fehsenfeld's, but Besic turned over A♦9♣ for the rivered two pair, and scooped the pot.
