Gardner Rivers a Straight to Bust Eskenazi
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Three players saw the flop come down J♥4♣5♦ with around 40,000 in the pot. Jason Gardner was first to act from the small blind and led out for 20,000. Scott Eskenazi shoved for 33,200 from the hijack and Omar Eljach folded from the button. Gardner quickly called and the cards were revealed.
Scott Eskenazi: A♦A♥J♠2♦ 
Jason Gardner: 8♥7♠6♦5♠
Eskenazi had aces, but Gardner had a wrap as the dealer put out the 4♦ turn, taking away a few of Gardner's outs. The river came the 7♥, which improved Gardner to a straight, sending Eskenazi to the rail.
