The Magician Makes His Chips Disappear

Antonio Esfandiari - Out
Antonio Esfandiari - Out
A player in middle position opened with a raise, and the button made the call. In the big blind, Antonio Esfandiari reraised to 6,000. The initial raiser folded, but the player on the button reraised to put his opponent to the test. Esfandiari called all in for another ~3,000 on top.

Showdown
Button: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Esfandiari: {A-Spades} {9-Clubs}

The flop helped Esfandiari, pairing his kicker. With four cards out, the board read {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {3-Spades}. But a re-suck {J-Diamonds} on the river was a bad card, sending The Magician out in a puff of smoke.
