Eibinger and Lofberg Take a Little from Lu

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

An orbit-plus of hands were dealt with no real action before Yunye Lu opened to 120,000 in the cutoff. Matthias Eibinger was on the button and asked to see his stack. Lu complied and moved his arms to put his remaining chips on display.

"You have about two million?" asked Eibinger. Lu nodded his head yes and Eibinger thought for another few moments before sending his cards to the muck.

On the following hand, Lu was in the hijack and opened to 120,000 again. Action made its way around to Simon Lofberg, who defended his big blind. The two saw the flop come {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Lofberg checked. Lu made a continuation-bet of 120,000 and Lofton check-raised to 355,000. Lu folded and the pot was shipped Lofberg's way.
