Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

, Eshaan Bhalla checked and Eyal Eshkar in the hijack made it 236,000 to go. Bhalla then jammed for another 501,000 on top and that sent Eshkar deep into the tank. The camera crew rushed by to film the potential all-in showdown and Eshkar eventually tossed in a single chip for the call.

for a jack-high straight by Eshkar.
