Eckstein's Turn With Aces
Niveau 7
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
John Utley, one of the current chip leaders of the tournament right now with a stack eclipsing 400,000, raised to 3,000 from early position, and the hijack three-bet to 10,000. San Diego's Ian Eckstein announced a four-bet to 22,000, and action folded back to the hijack, who five-bet shoved for just slightly more. Eckstein snapped him off.
Hijack: 
Ian Eckstein: 
Eckstein's aces held on the 
flop, and while the next two cards were paint, the 
turn and 
river were safe, eliminating the hijack.
