Two big stacks tangle
Ryan Eber and Jaco Storm found themselves heads up. On a Jack-high board with two diamonds Eber bet out for 7k and was called. The Ace on the turn made two possible flushes and again Eber bet out, this time with 16,5k. Storm took about three minutes to finally make the call.
The river did not complete and draws and this time Storm bet out for 40k with a long speech. Eber requested a count and moved all-in for another 80k. Storm immediately folded.
Eber showed a busted flush draw and 9-high and Storm obliged by showing the same busted draw and 8-high! Eber is looking good for another final table whilst Storm lost about half of his stack.
On the same table, short stacks Derik Grobbelaar and Anthony Gordon both doubled up.
Five minutes of play remain before lunch.
