Level 23
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The skirmishes between Chino Rheem and Matthias Eibinger have come to an end (at least, for now) as Eibinger has been moved to the open seat of Bob Bounahra, to the left of Brian Altman. Altman and Eibinger got involved in a blind battle right away.
Altman limped in from the small blind and Eibinger checked his option. On the 
flop, Altman checked, Eibinger bet 25,000, Altman check-raised to 100,000 and Eibinger called. Altman continued with 200,000 on the 
turn and Eibinger called again.
"Eight hundred," Altman announced on the 
river and Eibinger snapped him off with 
for two pair. Altman had 
for just seven high to hand Eibinger a big chip lead.

Eibinger Gets Value From Rheem
Level 23
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Matthias Eibinger and Chino Rheem have been playing tug-of-war since yesterday and once again, the two adversary's got involved in a big pot. It started off innocuous enough after a raise from Eibinger on the button and a call from Rheem from the small blind.
The flop was and Rheem check-called 55,000 from Eibinger. The turn was the and Rheem checked. Eibinger bet 90,000, Rheem check-raised to 400,000, and Eibinger called.
On the river, Rheem checked and EIbinger bet small with 265,000.
"I don't have much," Rheem admitted, "I only have a seven." After glossing it over for another twenty seconds, he wasn't able to part with his hand and paid off the Austrian.
Eibinger showed 
for three kings and Rheem slipped to half a million.
