Chan Catches Esfandiari

This hand was unstreamed as the commentary team took a short break.

Catching up with the action on the turn, Johnny Chan had defended his big blind and check-called $11,000 from Antonio Esfandiari (button) on a board of {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Chan checked the {2-Spades} and Esfandiari eyed him before firing $27,000. Chan quickly called, and Esfandiari turned up his cards. Evidently, they couldn't beat top pair as Chan showed an ace and a face card, taking down the pot.

"Why did I try to bluff Johnny Chan?" Esfandiari wondered aloud moments later.
