On Wednesday, Eyster Tweeted following his big jersey win, “I’ll take that Gold Jersey, thanks. Couldn’t figure out the whole PLO thing so just hit ’em with the #bluffafterbluff.” Eyster didn’t Tweet between Wednesday and Saturday, but promptly returned to the social network by saying, “Was gettin a lil chilly outside… so decided to snag a 2nd Gold Jersey #1$D #OaoBab #GotEmmmm.”

Heads-up, Eyster edged out fellow PocketFiver Kyle KJulius10 Julius (pictured), who earned $49,000.
