Players Remaining: 7 of 307

Hugh Joiner

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.

Eskandar: Ks2s
Joiner: 3s3c
Rose: KhQd

“Well, the king is dead, so I need a king and a deuce,” Eskandar instructed the dealer.

Sure enough, the flop came Kc4s2d to give Eskandar a huge lead with two pair. The 2h on the turn meant he could not lose the pot, and the blank 4s 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:
