Eskandani Leaves Himself Short, Hui Then Finishes Him Off
Level 15
: Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Limit Hold'em
Phil Hui bet the turn on a board of J?K?Q?7? before Mori Eskandani raised. Hui called as the 6? fell on the river.
Hui threw out a bet and Eskandani, with only a few chips remaining, tossed Ax10x into the muck.
"I'm saving it," Eskandani said heading to the next hand, where he got them in the middle again against Hui.
Mori Eskandani: Q?5?
Phil Hui: A?J?
The A?K?A? flop left Eskandani drawing to a miracle runner-runner, but none came as the board fell 7?7? and the Poker Hall of Famer hit the rail.
"He's the classiest guy," Phil Hellmuth said of Eskandani after he made his exit. "For 20 years he picked all the lineups for all those shows. Imagine the egos saying 'I should be on them."
