Ilyasov Wins the Battle
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Rami Ilyasov raised to 100,000 from under the gun and had one caller in Daniel Eichhorn in the big blind.
The two went heads up to a 10♠J♦9♥ flop and Ilyasov bet 125,000, which Eichhorn called. The two checked down the 10♦ turn and when the 5♠ came on the river Eichhorn led out for 150,000. Ilyasov paused briefly before raising to 375,000. Eichhorn stared at him and the two shared a very tense moment that ultimately ended with Eichhorn folding and Ilyasov taking the pot.
