Eibinger Out After Bluffing River with Seven-High

Matthias Eibinger made a courageous play that led to his demise in one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far.

PokerNews got to the table late but had the full action recounted by Brandon Steven.

Eibinger opened in the cutoff and Steven three-bet in the big blind. Eibinger called.

Steven continued with a small bet on the flop of 2♣A♥8♠ and Eibinger called. Steven then bet 240,000 on the 9♣ turn and Eibinger raised to 800,000. Steven called.

Steven checked on the 4♥ river and Eibinger moved all in for around 300,000 into the pot of over 2,000,000. Steven sighed and pushed out a call, leading Eibinger to sheepishly turn over 7♣6♣ for just seven-high with a busted straight and flush draw.

Steven then showed A♣J♣ to win the massive pot and send Eibinger to the registration desk in the biggest buy-in of the summer.
