Andreas Eiler

On a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} Brandon Steven was first to act. He checked over to Andreas Eiler who put out a bet of 9,000. Steven then opted to check-raise, making it 26,000. With action back on Eiler, he three-bet, making it 53,000. Steven just called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Steven checked again. This time, Eiler continued with a bet of 65,000. Steven called.

The {5-Clubs} came on the river and slowed both players down, with checks from each.

"I got counterfeited," Steven said, revealing his {10-Spades}{3-Spades}. Eiler showed his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} which was good to earn him the pot boosting him over 600,000.

Lamb Gets a Fold from Peters

Level 1 : 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

The typical high-roller tournament player David Peters has just recently taken a seat alongside the other David Peters just a few seats away. Peters got involved in the action right away with a raise to 2,500 from under the gun. He was called by Erik Seidel on the button, Steffen Sontheimer in the small blind, and Ben Lamb in the big blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and the action checked to Peters who continued for 3,500. Seidel called while Sontheimer mucked his cards. Lamb check-raised to 15,500 and Peters made the call as Seidel slid his cards to the muck.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Lamb tossed in a bet of 25,000. Peters called again and the {10-Spades} completed the board. Lamb fired another 60,000 and Peters finally laid his hand down after using up a time extension.
