Matthias Eibinger’s Big Bet with Big Slick
Early action was missed and the board read [AhJc5c7s6h]. With close to 20,000~ in the middle, Matthias Eibinger had 46,500 in front of him and Stephen Chidwick was in the tank.
The over-bet represented a substantial portion of both player’s stack and eventually, Chidwick threw in a chip for a call.
He was shown [AsKd] and Eibinger’s top pair was good. When the dust settled, Chidwick was well below starting and the Austrian was near another early British Poker Open lead.
