Captain Hook Coming Down The River!

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Fosco opened the action with a raise to 14,000 which was called by Bruno Lopes, seated to his immediate left. Kevin Eyster then moved in his remaining stack of 88,000 before Fosco isolated the action by moving all in himself. Lopes got out of the way and the cards were placed on their back.

Fosco: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Eyster: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Eyster got up and started yelling for "Captain Hook's!". The flop was {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and now his rail, about 7 or 8 deep, all started yelling for those "Captain Hook's!" The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and just when they were about to give up, there he was, a "Captain Hook". The {j-Hearts} hit the river and Eyster celebrated with his rail.

Fosco began to smile and Eyster tried to comfort him. "You're my boy so I would have been happy if you won it too... not as happy though," Eyster said with a smile. He now has 200,000 while "his boy" slips to 100,000.
