Non-Believer Eibinger Finishes Runner-Up in Dramatic Style ($1,008,000)
Paul Phua raised his button again to 400,000 with [As8s], called by Matthias Eibinger with [8hTh]. Eibinger proceeded to check call starting with the [Ah8c9d] flop (250,000), then the [Kd] turn (500,000) and finally went into the tank when Phua, with a comfortable two pair, set him in for just under a million chips on the [6c] river.
Finally, saying, “I don’t believe you,” Eibinger put his money where his mouth was, calling all-in with his pair of eights. The last of his chips sailed to Phua, while the Austrian pro collects $1,008,000.
