Meyers Enters the Danger Zone

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Brandon Meyers, who was the first player to amass over one million chips, now has less than 20 big blinds.

We found him and Kevin Eyster heads up on a flop of {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Meyers checked, Eyster fired out a bet of what looked like 18,000, and Meyers check-raised to 60,000. Eyster tank-called.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Meyers moved all in for effectively 186,000. Eyster snap-called, showing {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts.

"Sick," we heard Meyers say, as he showed {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a lesser straight.

Meyers could still win the hand with a queen on the river, but the {6-Spades} bricked off, and Eyster doubled. Meyers, as stated earlier in this post, is down below 20 big blinds.
