Eskandar Finds a Favorable Runout
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Lou Garza raised to 12,000 from under the gun and Paul Schwartz called from the small blind along with Patrick Eskandar in the big blind. The flop fell 
and the action checked to Garza who continued for 15,000. Schwartz folded and Eskandar shipped all in for 47,000.
Garza went into the tank for a couple of minutes, really contemplating calling the extra 32,000. He did, in fact, do so and the cards were on their backs. Eskandar showed 
for a flush draw while Garza held 
for the lone pair. The turn was the 
which gave Eskandar some more outs and the 
on the river improved his hand to two pair.
Eskandar went running two pair to score the double up and put a small dent in Garza's stack.
