Eisele Gets What he Needs
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Frederic Van Der Mersch opened to 2,000 from early position and Gerald Eisele moved all in for just under 10,000 from middle position. Van Der Mersch made the call with a covering stack.
Gerald Eisele: A?10?
Frederic Van Der Mersch: A?Q?
Eisele was in dire straits against the bigger ace, but that all changed on the 10?3?5? flop, giving Eisele top pair and leaving Van Der Mersch drawing to three outs. The rest of the board ran out A?K? giving Eisele two pair to score the double up.
