The Battle Continues as the Blinds Rise
Paul Phua (and the deck) are putting pressure on Matthias Eibinger, who nevertheless has been holding his head above water, swapping small pots to maintain the chip status quo. He did just lose a 1.5 million chip pot, however, calling a raise to 400,000 preflop with [8d6d] (button Phua held [As5c]). Eibinger check-called another 300,000 on the [Ah9c6d] flop, but gave up when Phua bet 550,000 on the [3h] turn.
