Esfandiari Sends One Home
We picked up the action at the flop as a player in mid-position bet out 2,700 on . Antonio Esfandiari raised it up to 7,600 from the cutoff and his opponent made the call. Both players checked the on the turn after which the dealer put down the as the final community card. The player in mid-position checked to Esfandiari who announced all-in. Now the long wait began as Esfandiari's opponent had to decide if he wanted to risk his last 15,000 in chips to find out if the Big One for One Drop winner was bluffing or not. After several minutes past the curiosity won and the player announced to the dealer that he called. That was Esfandiari's signal to show his for trips. Esfandiari raked in the chips as his opponent wished the players at the table good luck and mucked.

Get Out of Here!
These four players we'll not see in action anymore this tournament. Duhamel ran his into someone's aces and O'Dwyer lost a coin flip for his last ten big blinds. What happened to Schwartz and Lichtenberger we do not know at the moment, but Michael Phelps must have had something to do with it since he has a bunch of chips in front of him.

A Hero Has Fallen
Andy Frankenberger is nowhere to be found anymore. Former table mate Ankush Mandavia tells us that Frankenberger called it off with on | | with three spades.
