Eicher Cracks Aces After Spiking River
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.
