Sigurd Eskeland just jumped several spots on the chip leaderboard when he took down a giant multi-way pot.

The flop came {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

and Eskeland, who held {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

, checked his set. With two players to act after him, who both moved all in, Eskeland called and showed them that {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

and

{K-?}

{K-?}

were no good.

The turn and river blanked and Eskeland's set of eights was best. He eliminated two players and climbed to about 650,000 chips in the process.
