Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger

Marc-Andre Ladouceur raised to 35,000 and was called two ways by Matthias Eibinger in the small blind and Chino Rheem in the big blind. On the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Eibinger checked and Rheem bet 36,000, which Ladouceur called. Eibinger had other plans and check-raised to 140,000, forcing an instant fold from Rheem.

Ladouceur was interested enough to call and also called a bet of 300,000 by Eibinger on the {3-Clubs} turn before the Austrian bet 479,000 with 100,000 behind on the {2-Diamonds} river. Ladouceur gave it plenty of thought and called, but mucked as soon as Eibinger had revealed {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a full house.

Right after winning the big pot, Chino Rheem splashed in a raise to 45,000 and went back to type on his phone. Andre Akkari from one seat over moved all in for around 270,000 and the action folded back to Rheem. By then, he had put his phone down and snap-called, then immediately said "good luck" to Akkari.

Andre Akkari: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}
Chino Rheem: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The PokerStars ambassador was in need of help and the spades were covered. He didn't connect with the board of {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Akkari was eliminated in 24th place for $44,060.
