Table 28:

Neville Eber was the first aggressor, raising to 8,000. That brought the action around to Matthew Lea, who three-bet to 18,000. Once all other players cleared out, Eber moved all in for a sizable amount. Lea had a difficult decision, but made the call with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

. He caught Eber on a stone bluff as Eber sheepishly tabled {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

!

That hand may have worked for Grant Hinkle in Event #2 of the 2008 World Series of Poker, but it didn't work for Eber. The board ran out {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{8-Spades}

to send a shocked Eber to the rail. Lea is up to 210,000.

Only four players remain on Table 28.
