Eilers Turns Cowboy

[user66118]

Before the flop, Ben Eilers and Jerry Connor got tangled up in a preflop raising war, and it ended with Eilers being all in for about 230,000. Connor had his man covered by 26,000, and he had "it", turning over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

. Eilers couldn't believe his misfortune as he tabled {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

.

Not to worry though, Mr. Eilers. The flop was bone dry, but the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

on the turn was a beautiful card indeed. In the end, the board read {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{5-Spades}

, good enough for an Eilers double up. He's moved to 460,000, while Connor is left with just those 26,000.

Connor would be eliminated on the next hand.
