Esfandiari Cracks Aces
We caught an exciting hand with Antonio Esfandiari, where he used a little humor, magic and luck to double-up.
Esfandiari faced a raise from an opponent to his immediate left, and tried getting a read on him by asking his name. After the player wouldn't answer, Esfandiari contemplated for a few seconds before asking for a clarification on the rules.
"Is this all-in?," Esfandiari jokingly asked the dealer as he kept inching his stack forward without releasing the chips from his hand. "How about now?," he jibed again, sliding his stack further into the pot. With a magician's flourish, Esfandiari dropped the chips, and his opponent immediately called, flipping over 
.
"Oops," exclaimed Esfandiari, tabling the far-behind 
, as the table chuckled. The flop came 
, giving Esfandiari the nut-flush draw. "Let me run good one time!" said the excited Esfandiari after picking up the draw.
The turn came 
, completing Esfandiari's flush and cracking his opponent's aces. Esfandiari is now at around 9,800 in chips.
