Einhorn Won't Let Go of His Aces

Level 11 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

David Einhorn opened to 250,000 from under the gun and Steffen Sontheimer called on the button. The flop came {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Einhorn continued for 260,000. Sontheimer stuck around to see the {9-Diamonds} pair the board on the turn.

Einhorn fired another 400,000 and Sontheimer thought for a moment before making the call. The {7-Hearts} completed the board and Einhorn checked this time. Sontheimer moved in a bet of 2,070,000 and Einhorn quickly called. Sontheimer tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a missed straight draw and Einhorn held {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} to scoop the pot.
