Eibinger Finds Aces

Level 15 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised to 50,000 from under the gun and was called by Matthias Eibinger in the hijack.

They both checked through the {5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Clubs} on the flop to the {k-Clubs} on the turn. Foxen checked, Eibinger bet 60,000 and Foxen called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades}, Foxen checked for the last time. Eibinger took some time and in the last second of his 30 seconds, he announced a bet of 185,000. Foxen tanked, used a time bank card, and then made the call but mucked when Eibinger tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for the overpair.
