Big Slick Good for Eicher; Moon Exits

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a three-way completed board of {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, Noel Eicher bet 7,000 into the swelled pot of around 25,000.

One opponent folded to his bet, but then the action was on Ben Moon who was in the tank.

After around 30 seconds, he shrugged and made the call, but was then shown {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} by Eicher for top two-pair.

Moon mucked his cards and was left with only 2,300 as Eicher was shipped the big pot.

Moon then got it all in the very next hand with ace-three but ran into ace-eight and could not improve and was eliminated.
