No Magic for Antonio

[user22113]

Facing an early position (EP) player's 3,000 preflop raise, Antonio Esfandiari made it 8,000 to go. EP reraised all-in for 12,625 and Antonio made the call.

When they flipped over their cards, Antonio was a huge favorite, showing {Q-Spades}

vs. his opponent's {A-Spades}

. But when the flop came {5-Hearts}

, Antonio was way behind.

Unable to pull the case queen out of his hat, Antonio's stack pulled a disappearing act and he's down to 12,000 chips.
