Eibinger Takes From Watson and Gains the Lead
Level 15
: 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
As the first player to act, Mike "SirWatts" Watson raised to 44,000 and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger three-bet to 158,000 on the button. Watson made that 370,000 total to go and Eibinger stuck around in a battle of big stacks.
Watson check-called a bet of 267,750 on the 
flop and checked again the 
on the turn. Eibinger now made it 341,800 to go and that proved to be too much for Watson.
