Eyster Felts a Foe

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

JC Tran raised to 5,500 from early position, Kevin Eyster called from middle position, and the button jammed for what looked like 29,500. Tran folded, and after some consideration, Eyster called to put his opponent at risk.

Kevin Eyster: {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Button: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

They were racing for the pot and Eyster needed to improve in order to win. The button retained the lead on the {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, but Eyster pulled ahead on the {J-Clubs} turn, and the {6-Clubs} river changed nothing, so Eyster took the pot to send his opponent to the cage.
