Greenstein to the Rescue for Eyster

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player opened to 32,000 from under the gun and was called by a player on the button. Kevin Eyster then moved all in out of the small blind, getting calls from both of his opponents. The under the gun player covered both of his opponents while Eyster covered the button.

Button Player: K?Q? All in
Kevin Eyster: A?K? All in
Under the Gun Player: K?4?

Eyster had both of his opponents dominated, that is until the flop came 4?5?9?. The Q? turn switched things up again, with the button player taking the lead. Eyster was already getting up and bemoaning his poor fortune prior to the river but the A? rolled off the deck to hand him a large pot courtesy of the rivered ace.
