Jacks Crack Waki Stack, Then Eyster Sends Him to Rail

Yasuhiro Waki, who cashed in the £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event already here at the Empire Casino, and who appears to have made the trip from Japan just to compete in a selection of WSOPE events, has not fared so well at the start of this Round Two. He just lost a pot of over 50,000 to Kevin Eyster, with whom he'd built a pot of 22k by the turn: {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. At this point out bet big blind Eyster, 16,400, and after a bit of a pause Waki made the call. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Eyster checked, Waki checking behind and then mucking when he saw {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} in his opponent's hand.

Less than two minutes later and the rest of the chips were Eyster's - he progresses to tomorrow's Round Three.
