Eidson Loses Steam

From the button, Leonard Eidson opened with a raise to 50,000. Next to act was Kai Landry from the small blind, and he reraised to a total of 170,000. Eidson counted down his own stack before making the call. The other two players were sitting on the sidelines watching this heads-up battle.

The flop brought {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Eidson announced that he was all in, and just as quickly came the, "I call," from Landry. The two men discussed the fact that they each had a queen, but the kickers were still undisclosed.

Showdown:
Eidson: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Landry: {Q-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The turn brought some chop outs for Eidson, as the {A-Spades} landed on the board. In good shape to double up, Landry watched the river card bring the {J-Diamonds}, and that earns him twice as many chips as he had before the hand. He has vaulted back up to 870,000, leaving Eidson with just 120,000 funny money.
