Eckstein's Turn With Aces

Level 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: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Ian Eckstein: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Eckstein's aces held on the {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, and while the next two cards were paint, the {j-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river were safe, eliminating the hijack.
