Eames Knocks Off a Short Stack
Action folded to John Eames in late position, and he min-raised to 6,000. It folded to the big blind, who put out a pot sized raise of 16,500, leaving himself less then 10,000 behind. Eames tanked for about 30 seconds before going all in, and his opponent made the call.
Eames: 
Opponent: 
Eames and his opponent were off to the races, with Eames needing to catch a pair to win, and he did just that on the 
flop. His opponent was drawing thin, and he couldn't catch up, as the turn and river both brought eights. Eames collected the bounty, and he has now joined the 200k club.
