Eiler Eliminates Inizan

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The skill level on the Inizan/Soulier table just went up a notch after the introduction of Natalia Nikitina and EPT Vienna winner Michael Eiler. It was actually Eiler who ended Inizan's hope of an EPT title when they clashed in the following hand.

Eiler raised to 750 on the button and Marc Inizan three-bet from the small blind when he made it 2,175 to play. Eiler asked Inizan for a count and Inizan politely moved out of the way to allow the German to have a peek. Eiler then withdrew his original 750 bet in one scoop and replaced it with a bet of 9,025. Inizan drew his line in the sand and moved all-in and Eiler snap-called.

Eiler: {a-Clubs} {k-Hearts}
Inizan: {a-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

Board: {a-Spades} {6-Spades} {q-Spades} {2-Hearts} {k-Spades}

Inizan was eliminated and Eiler now has 91,575 and is one of our chip leaders.
