Cooler Doesn't Go Eyster's Way
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chenxiang Miao raised to 40,000 from middle position and Xiaohu Liu three-bet to 120,000 from the hijack. Kevin Eyster four-bet shoved for 270,000 out of the small blind, which Liu called.
Kevin Eyster: Q♣Q♦
Xiaohu Liu: K♥K♣
Both players woke up with premium pairs, although it was Liu's pocket kings that left Eyster on the verge of elimination.
The dealer delivered a runout of J♦6♦2♥10♥2♦ and Eyster became the next casualty of Event #2: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em.
