Eberle Slipping, Pechie Thriving

Dale Eberle and Justin Pechie are two players that have been going in opposite directions since returning from dinner break, and that is due largely to big pots that they've played together. In the first hand, Eberle raised preflop and got a call from Justin Pechie in the big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Diamonds} , and Pechie check called a bet from Eberle. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the turn, and the river came the {2-Diamonds} . Pechie bet out, and Eberle called. Pechie showed {a-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens, and it was good enough to take the pot.

A few hands later, Eberle raised preflop, and once again, Pechie was the only caller. The flop caome out {5-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} , and this time, Pechie check raised Eberle. He called, and the turn brought the {a-Diamonds} . Pechie bet out, and Eberle called again, as he did when the {3-Diamonds} hit the river. Pechie showed {q-Spades} {10-Clubs} , and his queen kicker gave him the pot, as Eberle showed an inferior {j-} {10-} . That pot has given Pechie the chip lead with six players left.
