Eicher Cracks Aces After Spiking River
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Marc Eicher opened to 7,500 from early position and received calls from Alexander Gerdshikow in middle position and Tomasz Kozub on the button before Angelo Riccio put in a pot-sized raise to 37,500 from the small blind. Eicher moved all in for 133,000, forcing a fold from Gerdshikow and Kozub while Riccio snap-called with a covering stack.
"Aces?" Eicher asked his opponent as cards were turned on their backs.
Marc Eicher: K♦K♠J♣5♥
Angelo Riccio: A♥A♦10♦2♦
Eicher was indeed up against Aces and in rough shape with unsuited kings. The 7♥3♦3♥ flop and 6♣ turn provided no help. The K♥ river gave him a full house to double up while making a serious dent in Riccio's stack.
