Eureka4 Rozvadov: Geens leads Day 2 field



There were a record-breaking 493 entries for Eureka4 Rozvadov, today just 151 returned after the 2 start days and no more than ten levels later only 24 players remain, each guaranteed a minimum payout of €3,200. However, all eyes could be at the title and the primary place prize that pays €93,600.

Chipleader Bert Geens

Bert Geens had started Day 2 with 53,300, in no way terrible by any stretch of the imagination nevertheless it was still only around 1 / 4 of what the chip leader at that time, Stefan Raab had at that time. Nevertheless Geens can also be mightily proud of his day after he finished on the top with 1,032,000 - the one player over the only million mark. Geens won an important flip at the feature table for around half one million chips against Istvan Briski when his ace-king beat the Hungarian's jacks. After the Belgian player never looked back.

The person nearest to challenging him has over 300,000 less but it's someone fairly familiar to regular followers of European poker. Former EPT Vienna winner back in Season 7, Michael Eiler finished the day strongly to finish up in second place with 718,000 - no EPT winner has ever also won a Eureka Poker Tour event and it might certainly be a feather within the German youngster's blue cap.

PokerStars qualifier Michael Eiler

Eiler is one among eight remaining PokerStars Qualifiers still within the event, the others being Martin Meciar (654,000), Gregorz Wyraz (540,000), Sascha Achim Ranzinger (520,000), Tomasz Gluszko (382,000), Beatrix Wolfsberger (202,000), Milan Tomasz Rabsz (156,000) and Dawid Mysiewicz (128,000).

As expected the various remaining big names fell, Jan Bendik and Martin Kabrhel it will likely be those feeling most aggrieved as both were knocked out a couple of spots before the bubble. The bubble itself was around 90 minutes long and after Jens Winkler was knocked out in 72nd place, the exits came thick and fast. Former EPT Vienna runner-up Anthony Ghamrawi (51st), Christopher Frank (33rd) and previous chip leader Stefan Raab (32nd) were some of the fallen.

On Day 3, the remainder players will play right down to the general table of eight, meanwhile you'll be able to read the live updates here and here. Payouts are here, chip counts are here and the Day 3 seat draw is here.

See you tomorrow!
