Cho Sends Eskandar Out the Door

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Three players saw a flop of {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and the action checked to Patrick Eskandar in late position. Eskandar bet 4,500 into a pot of around 6,000 and Joon Cho check-raised to 14,500. The action was back on Eskandar who made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and Cho splashed in a bet of 15,000. Eskandar went deep into the tank for nearly three minutes before sticking in his last 28,200. Cho quickly called and the cards were tabled with Cho showing {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Eskandar trailing with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and Cho's pocket kings held on to eliminate Eskandar on Day 1a.
