Matthias Eibinger opened to 1,100,000 in the cutoff with 
and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind with 
and Christoph Vogelsang in the big blind with 
. The flop fell 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn.
Thorel splashed in a bet of 1,500,000 with top pair and Eibinger stuck around to see the 
on the river. Thorel laid the trap with a check and Eibinger quickly checked it back. Both players shared a little laugh as Thorel knew he missed out on some value.
