Day 1D of the Eureka5 Hamburg Main Event was a sell out (as expected), today meaning the total number of players for this event came to 581. This is the first time Eureka has visited Germany and it has proved very popular with the host country, as 76.2% of the field are German.
All four starting flights are now in the bag meaning all remaining players will, for the first time, join together for Day 2 tomorrow. They’ll be 173 of them after 64 made it through today after 12 45-minute levels. They’ll be no more split fields and no more 45-minute levels either as the structure moves to 60-minute levels from here on in.

Dzmitry Urbanovich took his seat late and left his seat early after he busted to the old one-outer in the penultimate level of the day. Pokerstars qualifier Martynas Kukuciomis was all in with 6♠6♦ and up against two larger stacked opponents in Urbanovich (pocket aces) and Robert Leszczynski (Q♠Q♣ ). The flop came down Q♥ 8♣ 7♣ and they built a side pot that meant Urbanovich was all in too.
Ole Schemion lasted longer than his fellow starlet but busted in the last level of the night. He doubled up (5â™ 5♣ beating Umberto Vitagliano’s Aâ™ Q♣ all in preflop) while in the big blind but busted the very next hand. PokerStars qualifier Jeasper Meijer vab Putten raised to 4,500 from the hijack before Schemoion three-bet all in for 41,100 with K♦ 9♦ . The Dutchman called and survived the 6♦ 6♥ 4â™ 4♣ J♥ board.
Yesterday’s High Roller runner up, Timo Schneider, has had one of the bigger stacks for a lot of today but lost some back to David Lappin after a failed bluff attempt. Three players checked a K♦ 6♥ 6♦ flop before Schneider (SB) led out for 3,400 on the Q♣ turn. Lappin (CO) was the only caller to the 7♣ river where he snapped off another 8,700 with king-queen beating out Schneider’s A♦ 2♦ . He finished strong on 120,600 though, whereas Lappin got through with 69,000.
