Antonio Esfandiari recently fell to Vadim Pinsky, and while we didn't witness the hand, Tam Truong did and was kind enough to relate the story.

According to him, a player raised to 500, Pinsky called from the small blind, and a short-stacked Esfandiari called from the big, leaving himself just 150 behind in the process. The {q-}{j-}{7-} flop saw Pinsky check, Esfandiari bet all in, and two calls follow. The two active players then checked the {6-} turn and {2-} river. The original raiser showed {j-}{j-}{x-}{x-} for a flopped set, but it was no good as Pinsky had flopped a bigger set with {q-}{q-}{x-}{x-}. Esfandiari's hand remains a mystery as he mucked before exiting the tournament area.

Meanwhile, 2005 World Series of Poker champ Joe Hachem was eliminated from the tournament in unknown action.
