Final Day 1 Flight for $1,100 Eureka Main Event Begins at 6:00 p.m.
The action continues today at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Cyprus with Day 1d of the $1,100 Eureka Main Event starting at 6:00 p.m. local time at the Merit Royal Diamond Hotel Casino & Spa.
The first two flights attracted a total field of 1,083 entrants, with 163 players finding a bag for Day 2 and simultaneously reaching the money. With Day 1c already underway, today's Day 1d flight will be the last chance for players hoping to advance to Day 2 in the main event.
Alexandr Dusco of Moldova bagged the Day 1a chip lead, finishing the evening with 696,000 chips, while Day 1b chip leader Carl Shaw of the United Kingdom currently holds the overall chip lead at 703,000. Shaw is recently coming off of a huge third-place finish at the 2023 EPT Barcelona Main Event for a career-best score of €901,070 ($972,805).

Joumaa Makes a Great Call
Nível 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Sergey Konovalov opened to 500 from under the gun and received calls from Oleg Ustinovich in the hijack, Bakhos Joumaa on the button, Tobias Peters in the small blind and Daniel Nagy in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥3♦5♠ and action checked to Konovalov who bet 2,900. Ustinovich folded, Joumaa called, Peters folded and Nagy called.
Action checked again to Konovalov, who bet 6,800 on the 9♥ turn. Joumaa made the call while Nagy got out of the way.
On the 3♠ river Konovalov moved all in, covering Joumaa's remaining stack of roughly 20,000. Joumaa briefly thought about his decision before making the call.
Konovalov tried to muck his hand, but was forced to show 7♣2♣ for a missed gutshot straight draw turned into a bluff. Joumaa tabled Q♥5♥ for just a pair of fives to secure more than a full double up at Konovalov's expense.
