Last Year's Winner Eskandari Eliminated

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

There was 560,000 in the middle on the flop of J?9?6? and Massoud Eskandari in the small blind moved all in for 740,000. Robert Whalen went into the tank and then said "All right, lets gamble!" and made the call.

Massoud Eskandari: K?K?
Robert Whalen: A?4?

Eskandari was ahead, but Whalen could hit an ace or a spade for a flush to win the hand. The Q? came on the turn, and Eskandari pleaded with the dealer for a red card. His wish was granted, but it was the A?.

Eskandari was so focused on dodging a spade he celebrated for a couple of seconds before realizing his kings had been cracked by a pair of aces. Whalen collected in a massive pot, while Eskandari headed to the pay cage.
