€1,100 Eureka Main Event
Giorno 3 completo
Action was fast and furious early on Day 3 of the €1,100 Eureka Main Event at the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Prague.
The record field of 4,403 entries had already been narrowed to the last 125 players to begin the day, all of whom had locked up at least €5,200. The field was further trimmed quite quickly early on inside the Hilton Prague, as that number was cut to 51 by the time players were sent on their second break of the day.
Poland’s Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz leads the way with his stack of 26,825,000 chips, holding a slight advantage over Miroslav Forman who sits just one million behind. The battle will resume at 12 p.m. local time on Monday, December 11.
Wyrzykiewicz earns a spot at a Eureka Tour final table for the second time after finishing ninth in Rozvadov in 2015. His largest career score came that same year in the EPT Malta, taking home €76,000 for an eighth-place finish. A spot in the top six on Monday would surpass that total, but everyone is eyeing the top piece of the €4,226,880 prize pool. The eventual champion will take home €511,710, along with the Eureka Tour trophy.
Place | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |

1 | Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz | Poland | 26,825,000 | 107 |
2 | Miroslav Forman | Czechia | 25,820,000 | 103 |
3 | Alexander Tkatschew | Austria | 22,400,000 | 90 |
4 | Eduardo Pereira | Portugal | 13,000,000 | 52 |
5 | Ercan Atmaca | Netherlands | 12,400,000 | 50 |
6 | Antonino Venneri | Italy | 10,100,000 | 40 |
7 | Viktor Jensen | Sweden | 8,625,000 | 35 |
8 | Catalin Moraru | Romania | 6,625,000 | 27 |
9 | Radek Jantos | Czechia | 6,300,000 | 25 |
Austria’s Alexander Tkatschew enters the final day in third position and 90 big blinds, with a sizeable gap to Eduardo Pereira in fourth place. Pereira can pass his career-best score with a podium finish, which would better his 15th-place run at the PSPC Main Event last January in The Bahamas that earned a tidy $198,800.
The rest of the final table includes Ercan Atmaca of The Netherlands, Antonino Venneri, Viktor Jensen, Catalin Moraru and Radek Jantos, who enters as the short stack in his home country of Czechia.
Jensen built a stack late in the evening when his pocket kings cracked the pocket aces of Kirill Burtin. Though he was able to run his remaining stack up a bit, Burtin was the eventual final elimination of the night falling on the final table bubble.
None of the previous end-of-day leaders qualified for the final table, with Day 1d chip leader Amir Mozaffarian making the deepest run to finish in 17th spot for a payday of €20,970. Day 2 leader Marcin Dziubdziela could not build any momentum on the day, hitting the rail in 43rd place for €9,050. That was two spots better than Day 1e pace-setter Mengshi Tian.
The last two PokerStars Ambassadors standing as play began hit the rail without much of a pay jump. Ramon Colillas bowed out in 114th place (€5,960) while Felix Schneiders had to settle for 73rd (€6,850).

6 | €99,750 |
7 | €76,720 |
8 | €59,010 |
9 | €45,400 |
Play will resume on Level 34 with blinds of 150,000/300,000 and a 300,000 big blind ante. The nine remaining players will continue with 60-minute levels until a winner is decided.
Stay tuned on the final day as the PokerNews live reporting team follows the action through to the final hand as the next Eureka Tour champion will be crowned.
Running parallel to the live action at the Prague Hilton, the Mini EPT Prague Online series has its opening shuffle up and deal on Tuesday, December 12, and continues through to Sunday, December 17, offering a thrilling lineup of 18 tournaments over six action-packed days, with buy-ins starting at just $1.10.
This series is unmissable because of the staggering $40,000 in added value that PokerStars is injecting into the prize pools.
The highlight of the added value is found in the $5.50 and $55 Mini Main Events scheduled for December 17. The winner of each of these events will walk away with a prestigious Gold Power Pass valued at $10,300, offering the chance to experience the full EPT atmosphere at any future EPT stop.

Action was folded round to Kirill Burtin in the small blind, who moved all in for 2,500,000.
Alexander Tkatschew in the big blind asked for a count and on being informed of the amount, made the call to put Burtin at risk.
Kirill Burtin: A♥6♣
Alexander Tkatschew: J♦10♠
Burtin was ahead preflop, but the runout of 10♥2♥5♣J♣9♣ provided Tkatschew with two pair and sent Burtin out.

Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz opened to 500,000 on the button and Ercan Atmaca called in the big blind before the dealer fanned the J♦Q♦4♣ flop.
Atmaca checked to Wyrzykiewicz, who continued for 500,000. The call was made to the 4♥ turn, where action repeated with a bet of 1,300,000 and a call from Atmaca.
Both players then checked the 9♣ river. Wyrzykiewicz showed J♣8♣ for two pair, while Atmaca could only reveal A♦2♦ for a missed flush draw.

Tomas Patka opened 500,000 in the cutoff and only Alexander Tkatschew called in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♣6♦3♦, and Tkatschew check-raised the continuation bet of 750,000 to 1,800,000. Patka responded with another raise, piling his stack of about 7,000,000 into the middle. Tkatschew thought about it for a few seconds and dropped a chip to make the call.
Tomas Patka: J♣J♦
Alexander Tkatschew: A♦4♦
The 7♦ turn completed the flush for Tkatschew which left Patka drawing dead, and the Q♠ river was just a formality as he exited the table in 11th place.

Jan Krahulik moved all in from the button for 2,825,000 and was called in the small blind by the covering stack of Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz.
Jan Krahulik: A♣7♦
Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz: A♥10♠
Krahulik was behind with the worse ace and the 6♠3♦10♥5♠2♣ runout avoided any chop pots and resulted in his elimination.
