Once more, welcome back to the Spielbank Schenefeld Casino where the Eureka5 Hamburg Main Event resumes with the third of four starting flights after a two-day hiatus. The cap for today’s field is a hard 200 and the day is close to being a sell out and most probably will be by the time registration closes at the end of level 6.
