Martin Tsvetanov Leads; Jack Sinclair on the Brink of Making Second Final Table in Eureka Main Event

A record-breaking Eureka Main Event has nearly reached its conclusion here at the 2024 European Poker Tour Prague inside Hilton Prague, as just 14 players of the original 4,732 entries will return for Day 4 to play down to a winner. In addition to the title of Main Event Champion, they will be competing for the €517,730 first-place prize, which represents the bulk of the €4,542,720 prize pool.

Leading the way is Bulgaria's own Martin Tsvetanov, who was on the brink of elimination last night after getting into massive flip against Jack Sinclair near the end of the day. However, fate was on Tsvetanov's side and he instead scored a double-up that vaulted him into the chip lead en route to bagging up 28,650,000. A place at the final table would secure his best live-tournament cash, currently at $47,367.

Despite the large hit to his stack, Sinclair still managed to end fourth in chips with 13,900,000. Sinclair is arguably the most-accomplished player remaining, with over $5,000,000 in live-tournament earnings, which includes winning the WSOPE Main Event in 2018. It also appears likely Sinclair will get another chance at navigating a Eureka Main Event final table, having placed fourth in the event in 2022.

Also in the hunt is Austrian poker pro Gerald Karlic, who already holds two EPT titles. Karlic enters Day 4 third in chips and can eclipse his previous best cash of $281,714 by securing a runner-up finish or better.
