Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Season 6 of the PokerStars.net Eureka Poker Tour officially kicked off this week at King's Casino in Rozvadov and the €1,100 Main Event got underway earlier today. One year ago, the first starting day attracted a field of 98 entrants but this number was crushed as 219 players took part this time around. With that, the highlight event of the festival looks well on track to meet its guarantee of €500,000.
After 10 levels of 45 minutes each, only 90 players remained. Daniel Karacic from Croatia bagged up the lead with 194,400 in chips. He is followed by Harald "Harry" Casagrande (155,000) and Lazer Gjergji (151,800). Gjergji skyrocketed into third place overall by winning a big flip with ace-queen suited against the pocket eights of Jesper Hansen in one of the last hands of the day.
Among the main attractions in today's field were Ivan "Negriin" Luca, EPT Vienna champion Michael Eiler, and Alex Kravchenko. While Luca, the Argentinian, claimed 124,800 in chips and Eiler followed straight after with 117,600, Kravchenko busted in the last level of the night. Nandor Solyom was the first player out and Eureka 5 Hamburg champion Tom Holke departed early on from the very same table.
Defending Eureka Rozvadov champion Raphael Wimmer as well as 2015 World Series of Poker Europe bracelet winner Makarios Avramidis didn't advance to Day 2 either, and the set of deuces from Tobias Peters was cracked by a nut flush draw. Friedrich Raz made said flush to become a big stack in Level 6, but the Swiss bluffed off his stack to Karacic when firing three barrels with a turned flush draw.
Other big stacks and notables include 2015 World Series of Poker Circuit Rozvadov Main Event finalist Tonino Schmitz (113,800), Frantisek Bures (95,900), EPT regular Robert Zipf (82,400), who registered just before the start of Level 7, Eureka 5 Prague fourth-place finisher Vladas Burneikis (80,300), Stefan Rapp (79,200), Marek Blasko (70,000), and Sebastian Langrock (63,300).
They will all be back on Sunday for Day 2 while tomorrow offers the second starting day as of 1 p.m. and the turbo Day 1c heat as of 22:00 local time. Only players that busted in either of the first two flights are allowed to participate in Day 1c, and you can be sure to find coverage right here on PokerNews, so stay tuned.

: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The clock has been stopped and four more hands will be played. It currently looks as if Gaspare Leggio has taken the top spot for now.
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mihai Stinca from Belgium was all in for his last 5,100 and got called by the player from one seat over. Stinca flipped over 
and was trailing the 
of his opponent. A roller coaster board of 
changed the likely outcome three times and the Belgian got a full double up.
"Big cinema," another player on the table joked.
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Former big stack Felix Kaltner has been eliminated, he was last spotted with around 30,000 chips but they are all gone. Sebastian Langrock increased his stack at the very same table whereas Tonino Schmitz is part of a trip that chases the overall lead on Day 1a.
Rasmus Agerskov was all in with a short stack and 
, he got called by an opponent with pocket sevens and a four on the flop was not enough help for the Dane.
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Ivan Luca doubled up for 22,500 with 
by cracking pocket aces thanks to a straight on the river and soon after he knocked out an opponent with queens versus jacks. All of a sudden, "Negriin" has even become a contender for the chip lead on Day 1a!
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Both Jesper Hansen and Gregory Luttke have lost considerable portions of their stacks whereas Yong Cho just won a flip with 
against pocket nines at the very same table. A king appeared on the flop and that was a big relief for Cho.
