Level 24: 40,000/80,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining: 7 of 307
Patrick Eskandar got a lucky chop one hand ago. He got his chips in preflop with king-nine against pocket nines, and the board ran out a six-high straight to keep him afloat.
One hand later, Eskandar moved all in again from middle position, this time for 180,000. Hugh Joiner re-shoved for about 215,000 in the cutoff, and Jeff Rose called from the button to put both players at risk.

“Well, the king is dead, so I need a king and a deuce,” Eskandar instructed the dealer.
Sure enough, the flop came to give Eskandar a huge lead with two pair. The on the turn meant he could not lose the pot, and the blank on the river earned him a triple-up with kings full.
Rose won the side pot, eliminating Joiner in seventh place. Joiner collected $750 and the Stay Like a Rock Star Package, which includes:
- A Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino black leather duffel bag
- Deluxe accommodations for a one-night stay at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood ($300 max. value)
