It Was the Best of Hands; It Was the Worst of Hands

[user66118]

We picked up the action in a heads-up flop with the board showing {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. A player in position had either bet or raised to 6,400 -- more likely a raise considering the size of the pot, but it was unclear as we joined the action. Antonio Esfandiari was in the process of calling, and the dealer placed the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

on the turn.

Esfandiari led out with a bet of 6,100, and his opponent quickly called. The last card off was the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

, and Esfandiari moved all in for his last 3,150. He was quickly called. The Magician tabled {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

, and he would split the pot with his opponent's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

.

Unable to freeroll his way to a double up, Esfandiari is sitting still at about 16,000.
