3pm: 300!
Level 3 - Blinds 75/150
We're up to 300 runners now and Dag Palovic is among them. The Slovakian pro has almost $1,000,000 in lifetime earnings.
2:45pm: Cooler for Rudelitz
Level 3 - Blinds 75/150
One of the dangerous German players mention below (see 2:25pm post) is out and it was a cooler that did for Enrico Rudelitz. He opened to 300 with [Ac][Ad], Bahador Azad three-bet to 800, the small blind smooth called and Rudelitz then bumped the price of poker up to 3,000. Azad was the only caller.
The [As][Th][4h] flop gave Rudelitz top set and he played it cute, check-calling a bet of 3,500. The [8h] fell on the turn and Rudelitz check-called again, this time 7,000. The [Qc] completed the board and Azad set Rudelitz all-in for his last 11,000 and the German made the call.
Azad rolled over [Qh][Jh] for the turned flush, he's up to 60,000 as a result.
2:35pm: Exits
Level 3 - Blinds 75/150
Two more exits to tell you about as Josef Gulas and Elena Litvinyuk are both out.
2:25pm: The Germans are coming
Level 2 - Blinds 50/100
A number of well known German players have joined the field during level two. Jonas Lauck is an EPT regular who has over $1.1M in lifetime earnings. A win in the FPS Deauville High Roller in 2013 and a second place in a second place in the $1,500 Ante-Up event at the 2014 WSOP and a fifth place in a WSOP $1,000 bracelet event in 2015 are just three of his notable results.
Enrico Rudelitz's biggest career score also came on French soil, when he finished fourth in the EPT9 Deauville Main Event. That deep run in a 782 runner field earned him €215,000.
Robert Schulz is another player who's made a deep run on the EPT, he had a deep run at EPT11 Barcelona, making it all the way to 13th place before busting out for a €69,300 payday.
Last, but not least, lets throw a token Austrian into the German mix. Anthony Ghamrawi was runner-up to Oleksii Khoroshenin at EPT10 Vienna and earned €446,481 for that performance.
We're up to 280 players now on Day 1B.
2:10pm: Like, erm, Rozvadov taxis
Level 2 - Blinds 50/100
Ok the metaphor doesn't exactly work but the point is the first exit has been followed by three more in quick succession.
Erdar Suleyman, Manuel Fischer and Miltiadis Roumeliotis all find themselves with time on their hands. Perhaps we'll see them in the turbo flight at 10pm tonight.

1:50pm: First exit
Level 2 - Blinds 50/100
Our German colleague Robin Scherr was the man on the scene for the first exit of the day and this is what happened:
Peter Splettstosser opened to 250 from middle position, Hanno Offen called from the cutoff and the button and small blind (neither of whom are on the player list) both called as well.
So it was four to a flop, which came [6c][7s][9d]. Action checked to Offen, who bet 600. The button and small blind both called only for Splettstosser to check-raise to 3,500 total. Offen was the only caller.
The [Kc] hit the turn, Splettstosser bet 6,100 into a pot of 9,200, Offen raised to 15,000, Splettstosser shoved for 19,700 total and Offen called the extra.
Splettstosser: [Kh][Kd] - a turned set
Offen: [Td][8c] - the flopped straight
The [8s] river kept Offen in front and eliminated Splettstosser, after that hand Offen is up to 52,000.
1:35pm: A few names
Level 1 - Blinds 25/50
Players are continuing to drift into the tournament room and there are a few familiar faces amongst them. Antonin Duda has just taken his seat, the Czech player who wears an almost perma-smile whilst at the table.
He's had some great results over the years including two EPT Main Event final tables. Unfortunately for him they both resulted in seventh place finishes. Both were six-figure scores though with the EPT9 Barcelona result worth €125,950 and his EPT11 Malta performance netted a further € 108,200.
We had a WSOP bracelet winner in the field yesterday and that's the case again today. Paul Michaelis earned his last summer with a win in the $1,500 pot-limit Hold'em event. Ronny Voth is another dangerous German player in the field today and Martin Mulsow is also on the player list but we've yet to spot him in the field.
1:15pm: Stop and go
Level 1 - Blinds 25/50
The formality that is Day 1B being bigger than Day 1A has already been reached. There are currently 229 players in their seats but not all of them are playing poker.
As per PokerStars rules there must be three players at the table for play to start and there are a number of tables with one or two players only. It's been a leisurely start.
1pm: Shuffle up and deal
Level 1 - Blinds 25/50
Right on time the action has started.
12:45pm: Let's get ready for a super Saturday
Let's do it again! It's time for Day 1B of the Eureka6 Rozvadov Main Event and as (almost) always we expect Day 1B to be significantly bigger than Day 1A. So with 219 players turning up yesterday the hope is that this could be the biggest ever Eureka Rozadov Main Event. If we get a little over double yesterdays runners we'll beat the mark of 664, which was set last season.
Eureka Rozvadov Main Event history:
Season 3: 421 players, €500,000 prize pool, Bart Lybaert from Belgium for €115,000
Season 4: 493 players, €500,000 prize pool, Martin Meciar from Slovakia for €87,600
Season 5: 664 entries, €644,080 prize pool, Raphael Wimmer from Austria for €99,695
The target for anyone playing today is 194,400 as that's what Daniel Karacic managed to amass yesterday. He topped the 90 players who made it through. Full chip counts of the survivors can be seen here.
Play is due to start at 1pm.
