Serok Kilic had reached Day 2 of the King's Cup and busted not long ago, immediately jumping into Day 1a of the Eureka Main Event. He just got into a four-way pot on a flop of turn and checked out of the big blind. His three opponents all invested 2,000 chips befotre the river then saw Stefan Neytchev's bet of 5,000 go through uncontested.

Sergei Firsov was all in and at risk for what looked like 15,000 on the river of a board and the agony in the face of Zofia Mudrochova was easily visible. The shove was for most of her stack and eventually the Slovakian made the call only to get shown as winning hand for Firsov.
With less than 20 big blinds, the next few levels will decide over the fate of Mudrochova.

The full betting action was amiss, but Jesper Hansen was all in and at risk for his last 7,800 from the button. Initial raiser Alexander Staengle looked him up from the hijack with the and had the far worse kicker compared to the Dane's . On the turn, Staengle was hoping for a split pot with a queen or seven.
The request of the German however went on deaf ears, as the dealer burned and turned the river instead.

Tillmann Raschke appears to be the current chip leader with almost three times the starting stack while Zofia Mudrochova has been eliminated.
Another German is up in chips. Marius Pospiech and his opponent in the cutoff generated a pot of 10,000 until the and Pospiech bet 7,000. The player in the cutoff tanked for some time and then called it off only to get shown by Pospiech as winning hand.
"What did you have, tens?" Pospiech asked and his opponent nodded, later claiming to have played against him previously in the Spielbank Hohensyburg.

Alexander Rettenbacher called a bet of Grzegorz Wyraz on the flop and then faced a bet worth 3,025 by the Pole on the turn. Rettenbacher first tossed in a T-5,000 chip followed by a T-25 and it was ruled to be a forced min-raise instead of a flat-call. Wyraz then shoved and the Austrian was too committed to fold his , eventually putting the remaining chips in.
Wyraz showed the for two pair and the river blanked.

It was somewhat of a surprise to see the media card of Tutus Tuncay waiting on the desk and a quick check at his previous table indeed confirmed that the German had been eliminated. It was a clash of the two biggest pocket pairs in No Limit Hold'em and Tuncay five-bet jammed for what appeared to be 45,000 according to Ali Sameeian.
Boris Andreev had even more chips and snap-called with pocket kings to face pocket aces. A king on the flop provided the suckout in favor of the Russian and Tuncay failed to improve.

After a rather innocent action to the flop, the fireworks started with Friedrich Raz and Tobias Peters going at it. The former eventually ended up all in after a raising war for 29,375 and showed the for the nut flush draw. Peters held deuces for bottom set and saw his stack all but melt with the turn and river.
One hand later, Thorsten Ostwald limped from under the gun and Peters shoved his last 3,000 chips. Ostwald called and it was a flip for the Dutchman:

The board ran out provided no help for Peters and he headed to the rail, but will most likely reenter on Day 1c.
