[user123189]

No-Limit Hold'em

Sigurd Eskeland raised to 80,000 from the button and was faced with a three-bet to 260,000 from Steve Sung. Eskeland then announced he was all in and Sung snap-called.

Sung: {q-Diamonds} {q-Spades}
Eskeland: {a-Clubs} {9-Spades}

The flop came {3-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} which wasn't too much help to Sung. However the {j-Clubs} on the turn gave Eskeland a flush draw in addition to his overcard.

The river was the {2-Clubs} , giving Eskeland his flush. He shouted "Yes!" with his arms held high while the dealer started to count out the chips to see is Sung was actually eliminated.

In the end, Eskeland had a slight lead on Sung and was able to accumulate all the chips in play.

Congratulations to Steve Sung for putting on one heck of a heads up fight, coming back from a deficit of over one million chips to take the lead at one point.
