Cary Katz opened with a raise to 27,000 and was called by Matthias Eibinger in the cutoff seat. On the button, David Einhorn called. Sam Soverel was in the big blind and took a look around the table. He made a comment about there being a lot in the pot and then moved all in for 343,000. Katz folded. Eibinger called and Einhorn folded.

Matthias Eibinger: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Sam Soverel: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and that gave Eibinger the best hand with two pair. Soverel headed to the rail and Eibinger took down the pot, moving to right around 1,700,000 chips.
