Eberle Running Over His Table
Despite being the oldest player at the table by at least 20 years, Dale Eberle has been by far the most active player. Eberle just took four of six hands to boost his chip lead even further. Every time, he raised preflop, and was either called or three bet making it a heads up hand. Eberle came along each time, and by the end of the hand, he had the chips each time. Eberle is now up nearly 800,000, and is the early chip leader.
