Eyster Gets Bogged Down in the Marsh
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
After Ben Marsh opened with a raise, Kevin Eyster three-bet to 2800. Action folded back to Marsh, who moved all in for 11,250. Eyster called and it was off to the races.
Eyster: 
Marsh: 
The 
flop gave Eyster the lead with a set, meaning Marsh needed a jack to make a straight and survive. The 
turn wasn't it, but the 
river was! Ship the double to Marsh.

Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante

Sharp: 
Cutoff: 
Finger:
