Day 1c of the PokerStars Eureka Hamburg Main Event has concluded here at Casino Schenefeld, with 46 players progressing from the 241 entrants. They join the 92 players who qualified in Days 1a and 1b, meaning 138 players will return for Day 2.

The event attracted a total of 615 entries, generating an impressive prize pool of €584,250. Details of payouts will follow at the start of Day 2.

Julian Paulsen of Germany was among the chip leaders for much of the day and ended up bagging the second-biggest stack (370,500), just behind fellow countryman Timo Scarcella who amassed 392,000 during the course of the day.

Malte Von Ostrowski completes an all-German top three on 122,000, while PokerStars Qualifier Philipp Ruthard (269,000) will have been delighted to bag a top-ten stack in his flight.

Scarcella boasts live recorded earnings totaling over $170,000, with his biggest cash thus far being a fifth-place finish in the PokerStars Eureka Cup at EPT Prague in 2022 for $43,000.

Paulsen does not appear to have any recorded tournament cashes, and will be looking to bag a big first entry on The Hendon Mob when he returns for Day 2. Von Ostrowski has live recorded cashes of less than $5,000 and would no doubt love to claim a first major title on home soil.
