Gone in the Blink of an Eyster
Hand 1:
Heads up to a flop of K♥10♣J♣, Kevin Eyster check-called a bet of 125,000 from Brian James. Eyster called.
The turn brought the 2♦ and Eyster checked again. James pushed out a bet of 475,000. Eyster made a pained fold and claim to have Qx10x.
Hand 2:
Kevin Eyster opened the button to 60,000 and Carter Jones made the call in the big blind.
Heads up they saw the A♣J♦A♦ scroll across and Jones checked. Eyster continued for 50,000 and Jones called.
The turn snapped off the 3♥ and Jones checked again. Eyster doubled his previous bet and put out 100,000. Jones responded with a raise to 280,000. Eyster didn't take too long before declaring all in. Jones snapped.
Kevin Eyster: A♥4♠ 
Carter Jones: 3♣3♠
Jones had drilled a boat against Eyster's trip aces and the 8♣ fell on the river, knocking Eyster out of the tournament.
Eyster bubbled the pay jump as only moments later, another player busted.
