Sigurd Eskeland Wins Huge Pot

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

The flop came {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Eskeland, who held {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-?} 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.
