The third table was just breaking here at the Parkwest Classic when undoubtedly the biggest pot of the tournament was being played out in the corner table of the room.
Action kicked off with Sami Bechahed raising to 50,000, only to see Mike Eskandari three bet to 150,000 next to act. Bechahed called, and the two experienced regs went heads up to a flop of [Jd][7s][6d].
Bechahed checked to Eskandari, who fired 350,000 into the middle. Bechahed responded with a check raise shove, a bet that was worth the more than 1,200,000 that Eskandari had behind. He tanked for a while before calling with [Qs][Qh], only to see Bechahed roll over [Js][Jc] for top set.
The turn and river provided no help, and Bechahed scooped a huge pot to take a big chip lead with two tables remaining now.
