The flop would change everything for the two players as it came to give Eisen the lead in the hand. His rail let out a roar, excited at the prospect of the huge pot their man was about to win.
"Hold on," said Eisen, well aware of how quickly poker can taketh away.
The turn was the giving Duong a gutshot straight draw.
