Yesterday, we told you of a one-outer between Jim Parker and Justin "Choctaw" Kruger. Both players flopped sets, Parker a set of tens and Kruger a set of aces, and Parker spiked a ten on the river to make quads and double.
Well, moments ago on Table 24, there was another epic one-outer.
According to the players at the table, there was an open to 1,200, a three-bet to 10,000, and an all in for 25,000. The three-bettor called.
Tina Fouse had her opponent covered and was holding 
, but her opponent had her dominated with 
. There was a in the window of the flop, but a followed it. Incredibly, the case-jack spiked on the turn, giving Fouse quads, and the river was a brick.
Fouse sits with around 55,000 chips, and is our second player in as many days to hit a one-outer in the Main Event.

Over the course of the past two days, we've been updating you on the preliminary ring events that took place earlier this week here in Choctaw. In case you missed the ones we've covered thus far, here they are again for your reading pleasure:
- WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Ring Event #1 No-Limit Hold’em
- WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Ring Event #2 $580 No-Limit Hold’em Re-Entry
- WSOP Circuit Choctaw Durant Ring Event #3 $365 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo
- Choctaw Durant Ring Event #4 $365 No-Limit Hold’em
- Choctaw Durant Ring Event #5 No-Limit Hold’em
Keeping with that theme, here's a look back at Ring Event #6 $365 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed, with help from WSOP Media Coordinator Lukas Willems' recap. Interestingly, that event was won by Kevin "1SickDisease" Eyster, who survived Day 1a of the Main Event.
Kevin Eyster is tied for the lead in the Choctaw Resort Casino Championship following a victory in Event 6, a $365 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed tournament, Wednesday night. Eyster, who earned 10 points toward the cumulative race by finishing 40th in Event 2 three days ago, added 50 more points to his series total after his winning performance.
In addition to points, Eyster also won $27,573 and his first WSOP Circuit gold ring, a memento he said weighed heavier on his mind than the points lead. “No,” Eyster replied when asked if the Casino Championship served as motivation. “This first ring was pretty big motivation. I guess now [the Casino Championship] will turn into motivation for me, but before it was one step at a time. See the money first, then the ring, then the Casino Championship.”
Eyster’s shot at topping the points leaderboard was the predominant headline at the final table, but all eyes were on Omaha-based pro Brett Schwertley when Day 2 began three hours prior. Schwertley was recording his 29th career cash, moving him into fourth place all time, and had a chance at winning his fourth WSOP Circuit championship. Unfortunately, Schwertley’s headline fizzled, as he became Day 2’s first elimination. He finished 11th and earned $1,751. While the finish moved him up the all-time cash list, he came up short of an elusive fourth ring.
Eyster proved too much to handle, and, like Schwertley, the final table’s chip leader Isaac Do couldn’t best the 23-year-old pro from Lafayette, La. The pair dueled for what seemed like hours before Eyster’s trip nines bested Do’s flush and straight draws to bring the tournament to a close.
Eyster, who dropped out of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to pursue poker full time, says his career has been filled with a lot of ups and downs. “Right now it’s up,” he said with a smile.Event 6 was the sixth of 12 gold ring events on the WSOP Circuit schedule at Choctaw Resort. The $365 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Handed tournament attracted 383 entries. The total prize pool came to $114,900 and the top 42 players were paid.

Shawn Rice limped under the gun only to have the button raise to 1,075. The big blind called, as did Rice, and it was three-way action to the 
flop. One by one all three players checked, and the dealer turned the 
. This time the big blind led out for 2,200, Rice called, and the button got out of the way.
The big blind then checked the 
river, and Rice did the same while saying, "I didn't like that card. Two pair." The big blind waiting to see Rice's and then sent his cards to the muck.
