Eyster Takes Chip Lead

Level 30 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Kevin Eyster has just taken down the first pot of significance in this heads up battle, and as a result, he has taken the lead.

Eyster opened the action to 100,000, and Jonathan Taylor raised to 230,000. Eyster called, and the flop came {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Both players checked, and the turn brought the {j-Spades}. Taylor fired out 180,000, and Eyster made the call.

The river was the {3-Spades}, and Taylor fired again, this time for 285,000. Eyster spent about 30 seconds in the tank before emerging with the call, and Taylor tabled {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for eight high. Eyster rolled over {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for two pair, and with that pot, he is now up to 4.72 million.
