: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Christian Eckert opened to 20,000 from early position and was met with a three-bet jam by Jiri Noval for 178,000.
Action folded back to Eckert who lamented, "It's the same hand man, the same fucking hand". Novak smiled.
Eckert thought it through for another 30 seconds, then open-folded 7♠7♥. "That's twice I show you sevens", while Novak turned over 10♦10♣.
"Thanks for showing" said Eckert.
