Antonio Esfandiari opened for 33,000 on the button and received a call from Remi Bollengier, bringing about a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}. Bollengier checked, Esfandiari bet 37,000, Bollengier check-raised to 91,000, and "The Magician" made the call.

When the {Q-Diamonds} turned, Bollengier check-called a bet of 126,000 and then checked the {5-Diamonds} river. Esfandiari took about 15 seconds before announcing that he was all in, and Bollengier, who had 525,000 behind, shifted in his chair. The Frenchman tanked for a solid five minutes before whispering, "I call."

Esfandiari proudly rolled over {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and immediately headed over to his supporters on the rail to celebrate. Bollengier's face said it all as he sheepishly flipped over {Q-Spades}{7-Spades} and finished as the Event #2: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em runner-up.
