Sigurd Eskeland raised to 53,000 to open the pot, and Anthony Picault three-bet shoved for about 430,000 from the big blind. When it came back to Eskeland he tanked for a minute or more before making the call with his covering stack. Picault turned over 
, and Eskeland's 
had him dominated and five cards from the exit.
"Just no nine," Eskeland instructed as the two men waited for the flop. The dealer obliged, even doing one better as the first three cards delivered 
and top pair the the Norwegian. Picault needed runners to stay alive, but the turn 
and river 
only made matters worse. Eskeland makes the full house, and that beats two pair any day, even today.
So, it's the end of the road for Anthony Picault, relegated to the rail in 22nd place. That's worth �20,000 for him, while Eskeland is still in the running for the big prize tomorrow. He's up to about 1.3 million now and back above the chip average.
