Mori Eskandani Eliminated in 17th Place ($17,500)

Matt Hansen

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 0 ante

Mori Eskandani raised and Nozomu Shimizu three-bet before Nick Pupillo four-bet to a total of 60,000. Eskandani committed the last of his chips and he was at risk for 65,000. Shimizu and Pupillo called the extra 5,000 and action was three ways.

The flop was J?7?9? and Shimizu check-called a bet from Pupillo to see the K? on the turn.

Both players checked the turn and Shimizu check-called again on the Q? river. Pupillo turned over 10?10? for a straight and Eskandani showed the losing A?Q? before he hit the rail in 16th place for $17,500.
