A record-breaking stand-alone Eureka Main Event attracted 664-entry field and created a €644,080 prize pool. Day 2 will see the bubble burst as 255 players arrived to continue after surviving first day.
93 players are about to get a piece of the pool. The eventual champion will take home a €119,200 while the min-cash is set for €2k. Last year, Martin Meciar from Slovakia scooped the title worth €87,600 after cutting a heads-up deal with Michael-David Passy.
The defender is still in contention as he used the benefit of a new Turbo Re-Entry flight. He might still look for a back-to-back victory here in Rozvadov. The remaining field includes yet another former champion - Eureka 4 Vienna winner Zoltan Gal who. like Merciar, also advanced from day 1c.
GERMANS DOMINATED THE FIELD ONCE AGAIN The King's Casino lays on the Czech-German border and therefore it is no surprise that Germany had the strongest representation in the Main Event field. From 529 unique players (including 4 no-shows), 243 came from Germany meaning they occupied almost half of the field (46%). The home country came 2nd with 51 Czechs entering Eureka 5 Rozvadov and Poland was in 3rd place by just two players behind the Czech Republic. Overall, players from 38 countries attended the Main Event.
