Eberle Doubles Through Rich

Kevin Taylor

Just about 30 minutes ago, Dale Eberle was all in for his last 50,000, which at the time was just 2.5 big blinds. After stealing a handful of pots, and doubling up through Jordan Rich, he is now back to around 700,000. Eberle raised in early position, and Rich called in the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades} {q-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} , and Rich checked. Eberle bet out, and Rich raised. Eberle wasn't deterred, and put out another bet. Rich opted to call, and they saw the {a-Spades} hit the turn. The players got in a raising war that saw Eberle commit the rest of his chips.

Eberle: {a-Clubs} {k-Clubs}
Rich: {a-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

Both players had trip aces, but Eberle had the better kicker. The river brought the {2-Spades} , and Eberle took the big pot to double up back into contention.
