Hand #31: Sammy Lafleur opened the action, making it 600,000 on the button and Patrick Eskandar three-bet all in for 2,775,000. Lafleur called and when the cards went over, Eskandar was in trouble with his tournament life on the line.
Sammy Lafleur: 
Patrick Eskandar: 
The 
board brought a flush for both players but Lafleur's was ace-high, giving him the nuts. Eskandar managed to climb a few rungs on the money ladder but now has to join the rail.
