Dobosz Shoves Queens and Busts on Bubble
Nível 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The floor staff announced to the dealers to stop dealing after the current hand had finished, signifying the start of hand for hand play. Yet on one table, there was still action.
Kamil Dobosz open shoved all in from early position for around 60,000 and was called by Franz Bracher in the big blind. The players flipped their cards, with Dobosz at risk.
Kamil Dobosz: Q♥Q♠
Franz Bracher: A♦K♦
It was a classic poker race. The board ran out 10♠8♠6♠A♣2♥. Bracher paired up his ace on the turn and held to win the pot. Just like that, the bubble was over. Dobosz was eliminated in 160th place.
The other 159 players bagged and tagged their chips for Day 2.

The Most Memorable & Unexpected Moments from PokerStars EPT Prague
Nível 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
2007 was the first year that the PokerStars European Poker Tour visited Prague, and the Czech capital city has since woven a rich tapestry of poker history.
There have been a plethora of memorable and unexpected moments over the last 16 years, and as PokerStars gears up for the 2023 edition of EPT Prague, PokerNews thought it'd be fun to look back at some of the epic tales that have taken place at the stop.
159 Players Make it Through Day 1a, Jovan Kenjic Bags Chip Lead
Nível 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The €2,200 Eureka High Roller is always a popular event, and today was no different. Running as part of the 2023 PokerStars European Poker Tour at the Hilton Prague, Day 1a attracted 1,062 entries. After 16 full levels of play, 159 players made it through to Day 2 and into the money.
After a marathon day of poker, the bubble was a quick one, and the hand for hand phase never truly reached as Kamil Dobosz lost a flip with queens against Franz Bracher's ace-king right before it was about to start, to be eliminated in 160th place on the bubble.
That brought the flight to a finish and, as players bagged and tagged, Jovan Kenjic of Serbia had emerged as the chip leader. Along with a handful of other five figure scores, Kenjic cashed in the same event at the EPT Cyprus back in October, finishing 21st for $13,625. He's now set for another deep run in his second consecutive Eureka High Roller.
In second place was Nicola Grieco, an Italian player who according to Hendon Mob has locked up $649,719 in live cashes. No stranger to high pressure situations, Grieco came fifth in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event in 2019.
Yaroslav Shkliar of Ukraine finished the flight in third place, Luigi D'Alterio in fourth, and Dorian Melchers in fifth.
