Eskandar Cracks Aces

Matthew Jarvis raised to 240,000 from under the gun with Patrick Eskandar calling on the button and Jonathan Duhamel coming along in the big blind.

They took a flop of {8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Duhamel checked to Jarvis who made a continuation bet of 425,000. Eskandar moved all in over the top for 1.965 million in total to force Duhamel to fold, but Jarvis made the call.

Eskandar: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Jarvis: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

Jarvis had the bullets but Eskandar had flopped a set to take the lead. The {J-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river missed to give Eskandar a huge double up to 4.85 million with Jarvis slipping back to 5.3 million.
