Erik Scheidt: Chip leader
Day 3 of the Eureka Poker Tour Hamburg Main Event started with 22 players and all eyes on George Danzer. The Team PokerStars Pro was going for a remarkable double having already won the High Roller here this week.
But once they bagged up for the tip of the night at 8:30pm, only six players remained and Danzer wasn't certainly one of them. The apparently immortal man from Salzburg went out in ninth--a performance he'll indubitably have taken firstly of the week, but that left him deflated by the end.
It was a difficult day. All the overnight top three were knocked out--David Yan and Andre Haneberg joining Danzer at the rail--but it was the person in fourth yesterday, Erik Scheidt, who prospered the most.
The German player, who's now on the second Eureka final of his career, was the largest stack within the right from the earliest levels, but things evened out so much on the end. Scheidt has 1,975,000 to enter the overall day, but that is not quite 40 big blinds in what has become an excessively shallow tournament.
Marcel Schauenburg is second. He fired three bullets at this tournament and, having now progressed to its final, can say that he has played on each day.
The full counts are over at the chip-count page and we should always make special mention of Dinesh Alt.
The man known online as "NastyMinder" was the smallest of the 22 stacks coming back today, but played it superlatively. He had one come-from-behind double as much as stay alive, but otherwise picked his spots to perfection to make his approach to the final.
This is anyone's game. The common stack is 30 big blinds and the shortest stack is 24 BBs. There's going to be numerous shoving after they restart at 3pm tomorrow.
Look back on the entire action by scrolling in the course of the post below. Then join us for the denouement tomorrow, unfortunately without Mr Danzer.

8:25pm: Hansen busts; right down to sixLevel 26 - Blinds 25,000/50,000 (5,000 ante)
That's that for Johnny Hansen, and for Day 3 of the Eureka6 Hamburg Main Event. Hansen open-shoved for 470,000 with K♥9♥ and Marcel Schauenburg found Q♦Q♥ within the big blind and picked him off. There has been nothing for Hansen at the flop, turn or river and that is the end of the day.
We'll have full chip counts and final day profiles with you very shortly.
8:20pm: Hansen at risk as blinds get bigLevel 26 - Blinds 25,000/50,000 (5,000 ante)
Johnny Hansen is within the danger zone now, with only about seven big blinds, having lost a small pot to Erik Scheidt, but it surely still representing a fair chunk of his stack.
Blinds went as much as 25,000-50,000 and Hansen found himself within the small blind. Action folded to him and he completed, with Erik Scheidt checking behind. They saw a flop of K♣3♠2♦ and Hansen bet 55,000. Scheidt called.
The turn was the 8♦ and Hansen checked. Scheidt bet 100,000 and Hansen folded. He has about 350,000 left now.
7:55pm: Atmaca four-bet shovesLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
Ercan Atmaca opened to 100,000 from the hijack and Erik Scheidt, within the small blind, wanted a count of Atmaca's stack. He happily revealed that he had around 850,000. Scheidt then counted out a three-bet, making it 255,000. Marcel Schauenburg folded his big blind, but then Atmaca shoved.
Scheidt, knowing already how much it was, was in a position to make an overly quick fold.
7:55pm: No recovery for Van Den WyngaertLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
And that may be indeed it for Stephan Van Den Wyngaert. He did manage one double up, through Dinesh Alt, but at the next hand he got his stack of 195,000 in against Marcel Schauenburg, who had opened to 85,000, and Schauenburg's A♠J♠ won the race against Van Den Wyngaert's pocket fives. Schaunburg flopped two aces. We're right down to seven. When yet one more player is knocked out, we will be able to be done for the night.
7:50pm: Schauenburg leaves Van Den Wyngaert shortLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
And that may be indeed it for Stephan Van Den Wyngaert. He did manage one double up, through Dinesh Alt, but at the next hand he got his stack of 195,000 in against Marcel Schauenburg, who had opened to 85,000, and Schauenburg's A♠J♠ won the race against Van Den Wyngaert's pocket fives. Schaunburg flopped two aces. We're all the way down to seven. When another player is knocked out, we will be able to be done for the night.
7:50pm: Schauenburg leaves Van Den Wyngaert shortLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
It seems likely that Stephan Van Den Wyngaert might be putting on his sweater soon and heading into the night as he just lost a huge flip for all but 70,000 of his stack. Marcel Schauenburg was the person to profit, doubling as much as around 1 million, when his A♣K♦ hit a king at the board of 2♦J♠K♣5♣5♥. Van Den Wyngaert had 8♥8♠ and so they got it in pre-flop.

7:50pm: Oral passes testLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
The first double-up of the overall table has gone in favour of Ismet Oral, who made a bold demand his tournament life with one pair, but was right.
Oral opened from the hijack and Erik Scheidt defended his big blind, taking two players to the flop of 5♠K♠T♠. They both checked. The 2♣ came at the turn and Scheidt bet 110,000. Oral called. Then the 8♥ came at the river.
Scheidt said that he was all-in, but with the largest stack within the room, it wasn't really him under threat. Oral had only 460,000 behind and was in danger.
But after double-checking his cards, Oral called and was rewarded when Scheidt turned over Q♠7♣. It meant that Oral's K♣J♠ was good. He now has rather less than one million to play with.
7:40pm: Official final table beginsLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
After photographs and formalities, the official eight-handed final table is now under way. Erik Scheidt started as he unquestionably intends to continue, raising back-to-back hands, making it 80,000 each time, and picking up blinds and antes on each occasion.
7:13pm: Danzer ist kaputLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
Well, we won't say that George Danzer hasn't given us economical this week. He won the High Roller, he was chip leader on the end of Day 1 and Day 2. But now, schade, George ist kaput. He got his last chips in good, with A♥9♠ against Dinesh Alt's 7♠6♠. But there has been a six at the flop and Alt made the crucial pair to do what such a lot of others have did not do recently, knock out George Danzer.
The decisive pot that left George Danzer with fumes
This have been a superlative summer again for the Team PokerStars Pro. But that's now the tip of that. He gets €6,800 for ninth place.
7pm: Final table countsLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
Here's how they line up because the final table now begins:
Seat 1 - Walid Abdi-Ali - 1,530,000Seat 2 - Stephan Van Den Wyngaert - 655,000Seat 3 - Ismet Oral - 725,000Seat 4 - Ercan Atmaca - 895,000Seat 5 - Dinesh Alt - 1,045,000Seat 6 - George Danzer - 230,000Seat 7 - Johnny Hansen - 1,030,000Seat 8 - Erik Scheidt - 2,360,000Seat 9 - Marcel Schauenburg - 475,000
6:51pm: Bloch busts in 10thLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
Jan Bloch has missed out on back-to-back final tables by the narrowest of margins. He has gone broke in 10th, shoving with pocket fives for his last 400,000 but running into Johnny Hansen's kings. There has been no miracle.
We'll have a redraw then an entire chip count for the last nine with you very soon.
6:50pm: Still riding the 3 bulletsLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
Marcel Schauenburg still has the risk to play on each day of this tournament because the man who fired three bullets has just doubled as much as stay alive.
Dinesh Alt open-shoved his small blind with just Schauenburg, and a stack of 240,000, behind him. Schauenburg glimpsed at his cards and saw A♦K♦, clearly enough to make the call.
Alt had K♥T♠ and was dominated, but actually went ahead at the 5♦7♠T♣ flop. But then the J♥ at the turn and Q♦ river swung it back in favour of Schauenburg. We're still looking forward to the person to move out in tenth that allows you to take us to our final table.
6:35pm: Danzer damaged prior to the breakLevel 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000 (5,000 ante)
George Danzer is the tournament short stack now after losing a large hand earlier than the break. He had pocket eights and flopped a set, but by the point the river was out, Ismet Oral's A♣T♦ had made a straight at the board of 9♣8♥5♥6♦7♦. It was an easy flip, however, as they got all of it in pre-flop, with Danzer just covering Oral.
The Team PokerStars Pro has 110,000 going into Level 25. It isn't even three big blinds.
6:20pm: BreakLevel 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000 (4,000 ante)
The last ten players are occurring a break. We'll have their accurate chip-counts soon.
6:05pm: Danzer doublesLevel 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000 (4,000 ante)
For the primary time in a few week, George Danzer have been wanting a fillip. Sitting next to Erik Scheidt, albeit with position, have been tough for Danzer today. He had slumped to his last 375,000.
But, excellent news Danzer fans, he has just got a double up through Scheidt. Scheidt set Danzer all-in from the small blind, together with his K♠9♠. Danzer called with A♥5♣ and Danzer's hand stayed best.
Scheidt still has about 2.1 million, but will now no less than want to think a little bit about Danzer, who has about 800,000 to his left.
5:50pm: "Flips gewinnt!"Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000 (4,000 ante)
"Flips gewinnt!" Walid Abdi-Ali said after, allow us to guess, winning a flip to knock out Andreas Majchrzak. Action folded to Majchrzak within the small blind and he raised to 70,000.
Abdi-Ali, within the big blind, moved all-in, covering Majchrzak, but Majchrzak called for his last 300,000 or so.
Abdi-Ali had the smallest pair of all of them. He had 2♦2♠. However the pair stayed good against Majchrzak's A♠7♣ and, indeed, made a collection when the 2♥ came at the river.
5:50pm: Elf!Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000 (4,000 ante)
We're right down to 11 players as Gisle Olsen just lost a flip against Walid Abdi-Ali for his tournament life. Abdi-Ali opened to 65,000 and Olsen shipped for 267,000. Abdi-Ali called and took his 4♥4♣ up against Olsen's K♦9♥.
Gisle Olsen: Out in 12th
The 4♦ at the flop all but ended it and there has been no miracle outdraw from there. Abdi-Ali now has about 1 million.
5:40pm: Forst forced outLevel 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000 (4,000 ante)
There was a disturbance within the Forst.
Jonn Forst, last season's sixth-placed finisher, is out in 13th this time, open shoving for roughly 370,000 from the button and getting a decision from Ismet Oral within the big blind.
Forst had K♥5♥. Oral had A♠T♣ and the board ran A♣J♥4♥Q♠K♦. Oral had a rather bigger stack and that was that.
Jan Bloch is now the one one that can go back-to-back final tables on this event.
5:30pm: Schuster shaftedLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
This spate of doubling up couldn't last and it's Kai Schuster who has perished in 14th. He open shoved for 313,000 and located a decision from Dinesh Alt, who had marginally more.
Schuster: K♠Q♦Alt: 8♠8♦
There was no excitement on flop, turn or river and Schuster hits the payouts cage. Alt now has greater than 650,000 and will finally play some poker after an extended grind with a brief stack.
Kai Schuster out
5:20pm: Oral doubles through ForstLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Jonn Forst's bid for back-to-back final tables just took a knock. He doubled up Ismet Oral, when Oral three-bet shoved from the large blind after Forst opened to 60,000 from the button.
Oral's shove was for 189,000 and Forst thought of it for quite some time. Eventually he decided that A♠6♣ was good enough, but he soon learnt it wasn't. He was up against Oral's A♣K♥ and the board bricked through.
Ismet Oral doubles through Jonn Forst
5:15pm: Alt doubles through AtmacaLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Dinesh Alt seemed tempted to shove his last 200,000 into the center after Erik Scheidt opened to 50,000 from the button and he was within the big blind. But he folded, looking ahead to a greater spot. That apparently came at the next hand, when action folded to Alt within the small blind.
He moved all in and gave Ercan Atmaca a choice for what was resolute to be 204,000. Atmaca called.
Atmaca: K♠3♣Alt: Q♥8♦
Alt is sticking around way to a board of A♣Q♦4♠8♥3♠.
5:10pm: Everyone shovingLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Only Erik Scheidt, George Danzer and Ercan Atmaca actually has enough chips to play with any degree of nuance here, leaving all of the others to shove or fold. Within the former category, all of Kai Schuster, Marcel Schauenburg and Gisle Arne Olsen all pushed prior to now five minutes, but none of them got any callers. Olsen, however, made an extra 50,000 as his was a three-bet shove after Walid Abdi-Ali had opened.
5pm: Gorschewsky falls to AtmacaLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Robert Gorschewsky is out. He open-shoved for 260,000 and collected two callers: George Danzer, at the button, and Ercan Atmaca, within the big blind.
There was betting at the side because the Q♥5♦7♠ came at the flop, but both active players checked. The T♥ came at the turn and Atmaca pushed out a chance. Danzer instantly folded, leaving Gorschewsky in dire straits together with his A♦5♣ against Atmaca's T♣T♦.
In fact, he was drawing dead and the Q♦ at the river was irrelevant.
Gorschewsky takes €4,310 for 15th. Atmaca has 1.2 million in his bid for the €70,000 winner's cheque.
4:50pm: Oral on the subject of gobbled by ScheidtLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Erik Scheidt is now as much as 2.9 million, that is as regards to ten times the quantity of his latest adversary, Ismet Oral. This was a blind-against-blind confrontation that proved costly for Oral.
Oral completed from the small blind after which called when Scheidt raised, adding another 65,000. They saw the A♦A♥8♣ fall at the flop and Oral checked.
Ismet Oral and Erik Scheidt
Scheidt bet 51,000 and Oral called, then the 9♦ came at the turn. Oral check-called Scheidt's bet of 85,000. And he check-called the 5♠ river in addition when Shceidt bet 150,000.
Scheidt tabled A♣J♣ and Oral mucked.
4:45pm: Insta-shove from Abdi-AliLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Walid Abdi-Ali said a moment ago that he hadn't been all-in at any time in this tournament thus far. That can was true, but he's just been all-in again.
He opened from the cutoff to 55,000 and Jan Bloch three-bet the small blind, making it 105,000. Johnny Hansen folded the large blind and no sooner were his cards within the muck than Abdi-Ali asked for the red triangle.
Bloch needed about 30 seconds before he let his hand go.
4:40pm: Double for Van den WyngaertLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Stephan Van den Wyngaert has just survived another all-in situation, this time getting A♦K♠ to carry up against Walid Abdi-Ali's K♦T♦. Abdi-Ali opened from early position and Van den Wyngaert shoved for 169,000 from the massive blind. Abdi-Ali called and the board ran 7♣7♦4♠9♠4♦.
Abdi-Ali said that was the primary time he have been all for an all-in all tournament.
4:30pm: Yan out in 16thLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
David Yan's tournament is over. Nearly as good as his day was yesterday, it was bad today and he couldn't get anything to carry up. Living proof: his elimination hand.
Jan Bloch open-shoved from the small blind with 9♠8♣ and Yan found A♣K♥ within the big blind, which was plenty adequate to name all-in for his last 310,000.
Bloch had equity, and he hit the 8♦ at the turn. That was the decisive card.
With Yan's elimination we now know that the Eureka Hamburg champion may be from Europe. You'd think that will be obvious, but neither the champion from Rozvadov (Ivan Luca - Argentina) nor Bucharest (Avishai Shitrit - Israel) was.
4:30pm: ShovingLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)
Both David Yan and Kai Schuster have about 270,000 and both open-shoved from under the gun on their respective tables. Both got folds all of the way round.
4:25pm: StacksLevel 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000 (3,000 ante)

4:10pm: Chip leaders clashLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Erik Scheidt and George Danzer are the 2 biggest stacks within the tournament and although they'll probably be keen to not clash, they're going to in fact play hands against one another because the situation demands.
Just because the clock bumped into the primary break of the day, one of these moment arose. Scheidt raised to 45,000 from the cutoff and Danzer three-bet his small blind, making it 160,000 to play. They both checked the A♦K♣J♣ flop but then Danzer bet 140,000 on the 2♦ turn. Scheidt called.
Eric Scheidt and George Danzer tank into the break
The 8♠ came at the river and after some silent jousting (ie, two players sitting motionless and saying nothing) they both checked.
Danzer showed 3♥3♠ and Scheidt tabled his T♦T♣. "Nice call," Danzer said because the pot was pushed to Scheidt.
We'll have full chip counts for the rest 16 players shortly as they head off for a 15-minute break.
3:50pm: Some oddnessLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
There are two tables in play, and here is a weird hand on each of them. They played out simultaneously, so as to add to the weirdness.
The first started with a raise to 50,000 under the gun from Stephan Van den Wyngaert. Andreas Majchrzak three-bet to 115,000 from a stack of 390,000.
Action folded to Johnny Hansen within the small blind and he seemed very interested indeed. He pondered his options, asked for all of the relevant stack sizes, but then folded.
Van den Wyngaert then started some agonising of his own, but opted to name. He then checked at midnight and buried his head into his arms at the table, as though not desirous to see the flop at all.
The remainder of us checked out the 5♦6♥8♠. Van den Wyngaert had already checked, so Majchrzak said that he was all in. Van den Wyngaert aroused from sleep and folded instantly.
On the opposite table, Kai Schuster opened to 45,000 under the gun and George Danzer called within the cutoff. Jonn Forst often known as within the big blind and that took three players to a flop of T♦5♣7♦.
Forst led. He pushed 55,000 into the center. Schuster folded, but Danzer called. Both remaining players checked the 5♠ turn after which the 5♦ came at the river.
Forst bet 85,000 and Danzer considered his options. He took a moment, but then called. Forst mucked without showing, allowing Danzer to slip his winning hand back to the dealer face down as well.
3:30pm: RedrawLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Here's how the last 16 line up. We'll have chip counts on the break, but it surely seems like Erik Scheidy (1.7 million) and George Danzer (1.3 million) have clear air on the top of the charts on the moment, especially as David Yan just lost another chunk, doubling up Johnny Hansen.
| 1 | 1 | David Dong Ming Yan |
| 1 | 2 | Johnny Hansen |

3pm: Count them: five called all-ins, one eliminationLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
An absolutely mad couple of minutes here in Hamburg, with a minimum of five called all-ins in a question of minutes, but just one elimination. That takes them all the way down to the last 16, a redraw, an a moment to meet up with the flurry.
First up, Jonn Forst open-shoved his button and Kai Schuster, with 255,000 in his stack, called from the large blind. "Oops," Forst said, and showed his J♣9♥, which was dominated and didn't catch up against Schuster's A♣J♠. The board bricked.
It left Forst with 140,000 and he open-shoved at the next hand from the cutoff. Schuster, who was still assembling his chips from the former hand, said that he would call, but then David Yan, within the big blind, desired to know the way much Schuster was playing before he made his move.
Yan re-shoved, covering Schuster, and Schuster folded. That meant it was Yan's J♠T♠ against Forst's K♣3♣ and the king ended up decisive at the board of 4♥9♣9♥5♦7♦.
That was all of the action on that table, but it surely was all happening elsewhere too. Dinesh Alt shoved his stack of 133,000 from the button and Robert Gorschewsky called from the large blind. This was standard: Alt had K♠6♣ and Gorschewsky's A♦Q♦ was looking good to knock out Alt.
The flop of 7♦7♠J♣ was safe. So was the 4♣ at the turn. However the K♦ river earned Alt the double.
On the very next hand, Gorschewsky got what was now a brief stack in with J♥J♣ and located a decision from Ercan Atmaca and his A♣6♥. Gorschewsky probably feared the worst when the A♠ was within the window of the flop, but there has been also the K♠ and the J♦. Then the turn 3♣ and the T♠ river kept him ahead.
So, those were the four double-up hands, but there has been an elimination happening on George Danzer's table.
The one started with Danzer opening to 45,000 from early position and picking up calls from both players within the blinds: Erik Scheidt and Andre Haneberg. Those two checked the Q♥3♠4♠ flop, prompting of venture of 60,000 from Danzer.
Scheidt called but Haneberg moved all-in, for 267,000. Danzer called, Scheidt folded, and the 2 hands went on their backs:
Danzer: K♦Q♣Haneberg: K♠2♠
Danzer doesn't lose in spots like this. And likely enough the 7♣ turn and T♦ river were good just for him. Haneberg, second in chips initially of the day, is out in 17th.
Andre Haneberg
3pm: Two out from Table DanzerLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Seung Hyun Kang was knocked out in 20th a short while ago, when he limped with pocket tens after which called Ismet Oral's bet to 47,000. Kang should have loved the 10 at the flop, sandwiched between two queens, and checked. But he bet the eight at the turn, and Oral called. The river, though, was his killer. It was a 3rd queen and little did he know, Oral was sitting with pocket kings, which now counterfeited Kang's flopped boat.
They got all of it in there and Oral took it down.
Not long later, the short-stacked Frank Debus shoved his small blind with Q♠2♦. His 130,000 represented a very simple demand George Danzer within the big blind, who had A♠T♦. There has been a 10 at the flop and that was the tip of it for Debus.
The tournament clock has just ticked into Level 22, where blinds at the moment are 10,000-20,000 (ante 3,000).
2:50pm: Hansen's double raid on Saric sends Serbian homeLevel 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000 (3,000 ante)
Miomir Saric is on his as far back as Serbia after losing back-to-back pots to Johnny Hansen. The primary accounted for all but 71,000 of his chips. The following got the rest.
They were within the blinds for the primary of those encounters with Saric open shoving the small blind with K♦3♣. The short-stacked Hansen opted to name all-in together with his A♣5♥ and the ace played at the board of J♣6♣9♦2♣6♠.
On the very next hand, action folded to Saric at the button and, with 71,000 now, which was four big blinds, he pushed again. Hansen did some calculations then re-shoved to isolate, persuading Jan Bloch to fold his big blind reluctantly.
Bloch was unhappy when he saw the hands. Saric had T♠2♠ and Hansen K♦5♣ and this time the king played when the board ran 7♦3♠J♣Q♠4♥.
Miomir Saric: Out
2:40pm: Double for MajchrzakLevel 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Andreas Majchrzak is the most recent player to double up, getting very fortunate in a blind-versus-blind coup against Robert Gorschewsky.
Ercan Atmaca poked the hornets nest with a raise to 35,000 from the hijack, and Gorschewsky shoved from the button. Majchrzak found A♦Q♣ and decided to name all-in for his last 181,000 and Atmaca left them to it.
Gorschewsky was an important favourite together with his A♠K♠ however the flop fell 3♠Q♦6♦ and the turn of T♣ and river of 7♠ kept Majchrzak alive.
2:30pm: Double for Van Den WyngaertLevel 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
The last Belgian player within the field, Stephan Van Den Wyngaert, has just earned the newest double up on this tournament, finding A♦K♠ within the big blind after Jan Bloch shoved the button, with 4♠4♥. The A♠ came at the flop and Bloch didn't catch up after that.
Van den Wyngaert's shove was for 178,000 and so he has the simpler side of 350,000 to play with now.
Action on all of the tables is pretty brisk, with numerous opens from the massive stacks, followed by shoves by the small/mediums, that have usually earned folds. If it continues like this, shall we easily see a handy guide a rough rash of eliminations.
2:10pm: Action on Table 1Level 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Robert Gorschewsky has now arrived, but maybe he'll have preferred another little while in bed. He lost a large pot, doubling up the damaging Dinesh Alt within the process.
Alt shoved from the small blind--he was the overnight short stack, with 118,000--and Gorschewsky called from the large. Alt's jack-ten was behind the ace-six of Gorschewsky, but by the point the board was the entire option to the river, Alt had quad tens. That's good for a double.
Only a few hands later, there has been another big hand on Table 1, this time ending the participation of Edgaras Kancaitis. On this hand, Ercan Atmaca opened to 35,000 and Kancaitis shoved for approximately 120,000 from the small blind.
Atmaca called together with his J♠T♠ which was behind Kancaitis's A♠Q♥. But a flop of K♣9♦Q♣ soon swung it in Atmaca's favour, and the 2♠ turn and 4♠ river didn't change much.
Jack-ten seems to be unbeatable on that table on the moment.
2:10pm: Man downLevel 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Nikolas Menke is our first elimination today. He shoved from the button for 114,000 after Marcel Schauenburg opened to 35,000 from the cutoff. Schauenburg called and was ahead with T♥T♣ against Menke's 8♠6♠.
The board brought little for the under-cards. It ran 2♣A♥6♥K♠2♦ and that was that for Menke. Schauenberg is up and running.
Nikolas Menke: Out
2:05pm: Two seats openLevel 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
Nope, not two bust-outs already, but two no shows. Neither Robert Gorschewsky nor Andreas Majchrzak have arrive to Casino Schenefeld to take their seat as yet. They're both healthy enough in chips, but nobody can afford to blind away in what's quite a shallow tournament. Average stack is 26 big blinds on the moment.
2pm: Away they goLevel 21 - Blinds 8,000/16,000 (2,000 ante)
They're off.
1:30pm: Day 3 able to begin
It's Day 3 of the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event and 22 players remain, on the lookout for a spot on the final table. Today, we switch to 60-minute levels to present players slightly more wiggle room, but it's still prone to be a snappy day. There's every chance we can play to the last six players to present a good shorter day tomorrow.
George Danzer is leading. Isn't he always. But he'll be taking nothing as a right with the like of David Yan and Erik Scheidt, among others, within the close chasing pack. Both Jonn Forst and Jan Bloch made the overall table of this event last year, and they're still involved too, so there is no room for complacency.
George Danzer: Chip-leader
Take a glance on the chip-count page for the entire line up, and the seat-draw page for his or her starting positions.
Play begins at 2pm.
