Eslami Leads After a Huge Double

We picked up a huge pot on the turn as the board showed 
. There was close to 40,000 in the pot already when Ali Eslami checked to Kyle Bowker. Eslami called a bet of 26,000 there to put about 100,000 in the pot, and the river 
filled out the board. When Eslami checked one last time, Bowker moved all in with his covering stack. Eslami had 97,000 chips left in front of him, and he spent some time considering. After a while, he let out a deep sigh and announced the call to put himself at risk.
It was the right one.
Bowker showed up 
for just a pair of jacks, and he knew it wasn't going to be good. Eslami turned up 
for top two, winning the biggest pot of the tournament to double into the chip lead. Mark him down for close to 290,000 now, while Bowker is left with a rebuilding stack of 85,000 after that big exchange.
