Esfandiari Bets Big Versus Ivey

Three players put in $15,000 each preflop and saw a flop of {7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Jennifer Tilly was first to act in the small blind, and she led out for $30,000. Phil Ivey called from the hijack, and then Antonio Esfandiari raised to $100,000 from the button.

Tilly thought for a couple of minutes before releasing her hand, Ivey made the call, and the {K-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Ivey checked for a second time and Esfandiari tossed out $154,000. Ivey hit the tank for several minutes, during which time he put together a stack of chips. It looked as if he was going to commit them, but after an audible sigh from Doyle Brunson, Ivey sent his cards to the muck.

Ship the $436,200 pot to Esfandiari.
