Eyster Takes the Chip Lead
Level 27
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Kevin Eyster raised it up to 50,000, and he got three callers: Jonathan Taylor on the button, Jerry Johnson in the small blind, and Allan Hedin in the big blind.
The flop came down 
, and it was checked through. The 
hit the turn, and it was checked to Eyster, who bet out 70,000. Taylor and Hedin came along to see the 
hit the river. It was checked to Eyster, and he laid out a massive bet of 325,000. Taylor got out of the way, but Hedin spent some time in the tank. He cut out the call, and after a minute of thinking, he slid it in.
Eyster tabled 
for the nut flush, and Hedin kicked his cards in. That pot dropped Hedin down to 1.05 million, while Eyster is now up to 2.45 million.
