"The Nits Always Get Rewarded"
Joseph Oren raised to 240,000 in middle position before Matthias Eibinger, who had yet to play a hand at the final table, finally got involved and three-bet to 580,000 in the hijack. Oren called.
The flop came 9♣8♥6♣ and Eibinger bet 450,000. Oren then moved all in. "Waited six orbits for my first hand," Eibinger said as he called for his last 1,670,000.
Matthias Eibinger: A♦A♣ 
Joseph Oren: 6♠6♦
Eibinger's first hand threatened to be his last, as his aces had been outflopped by Oren's set. "That's funny," Eibinger said, laughing off the predicament he found himself in.
The turn, though, brought the A♥ to give Eibinger a set of aces. The river was the 5♠ and he earned a fortunate double up. "The nits always get rewarded," he added after the hand.
