Dejuante Alexander Eliminates Kevin Eyster

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Kevin Eyster
Kevin Eyster

We missed the action of the hand but we saw Kevin Eyster grabbing his belongings and exiting the tournament area. Dejuante Alexander was the new owner of Eyster's chips and was kind enough to play the hand back for us.

Alexander opened for 11,000, Eyster shoved for 76,000, action folded back around to Alexander and he called. Eyster held {K-Spades}{9-Spades} and Alexander held {A-Spades} {J-}. Alexander hit a jack on the flop, the board bricked for Eyster and he was eliminated.
