In what appeared to be a three-way, three-bet pot, Nikolaos Vouldis, Aleksandr Lakhov, and Niculina Grasu all checked on the 6♣9♦J♠ flop.
Vouldis then made a bet of 1,500 into the 6,000 pot on the 8♠ turn, and both of his opponents called.
The 5♠ river saw Vouldis check again, and this time it was Lakhov who fired a bet, of 6,000 chips. Grasu quickly folded but Vouldis tossed in a calling chip.
Lakhov showed K♠3♠ for a rivered flush and Vouldis sent his cards to the muck so sent a big pot Lakhov's way.
The pot stood at approximately 5,000 with two players looking at a board that read J♣4♠2♥4♥10♠.
Matei Lupascu, in early position, bet out 5,300 into Andreas Werner, who was in the cutoff. Werner thought for several minutes before making a frustrated call.
The PokerStars Eureka Poker Tour continues today at the Hilton Prague with the first starting flight of Event #18: €2,200 Eureka Poker Tour High Roller. The event is scheduled to kick off at 12 p.m. local time and is expected to attract high numbers after this week's Eureka Main Event has already smashed last year's record number of entries.
In 2022, Sander Ostlyngen bested a field of 1,534 to claim the trophy and title, alongside €463,850, in last year's high roller event. Ostlyngen put on an impressive display in Prague taking down both the Eureka High Roller and the €1,000 Super Hyper Turbo within the same series, and is sure to be looking to repeat his success this year.
