Eyster Passes the Sugar and the Rest of His Chips

Under the gun plus one, Kevin Eyster came in raising to 25,000, and he found calls from Per Ummer in position and Joe Hachem in the big blind.

Three ways, the flop came {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and that brought significant action. Hachem checked, and Eyster continued out with a bet of 48,500. Ummer tanked and folded, and Hachem took his pause. After a bit of a staredown, he announced an all in, and Eyster sunk in his chair a bit. He had about 220,000 chips left, and he shrugged and pushed them all across the line to put himself at risk. The news was not good for the young man:

Hachem: {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}
Eyster: {7-Spades} {10-Spades}

Two pair was nothing but trouble for Eyster, drawing slim to Hachem's flopped straight.

"How about running eights?" he pleaded, standing from his chair.

Turn: {8-Hearts}

Hachem grinned. "Come on, don't do that. That's dirty." Any ten, seven, or eight would keep Eyster around, but he could not find one on the {3-Clubs} river.

"That's my day," he said, pushing his chips toward the former world champ. The two men exchanged pleasantries, and Eyster wished his table luck as he plodded off to the payout desk.

Hachem is on the move today, up to about 800,000 now.
