Eamesy Come, Eamesy Go
John Eames has been eliminated from EPT Snowfest after a play with pocket eights went terribly wrong for him.
Eames was busy stacking the chips he had won in the previous hand against Alessio Isaia when disaster struck. Dominique Franchi (UTG+1) kicked things off with a raise to 1,650, the table folded to Sofia Lövgren on the button and she made the call. Eames, from the big blind, first asked how many chips Lövgren had an when he was informed he raised it up to 5,450.
Franchi then looked at both of his opponent's stacks before making another raise, this one topping the scales at 10,850. This was enough to force Lövgren to fold but Eames was not planning on folding. After a little thinking time he announced he was all in and cannot have been happy when Franchi snap-called.
Eames: 
Franchi: 
The final board ran out 
and with it Eames' tournament was brought to an abrupt end and he will not be repeating his third place finish he achieved at the recent EPT Copenhagen Main Event.
