Esfandiari Lays Down the Law

Jamie Robbins raised to 80,000 from late position and Antonio Esfandiari called on the button. In the big blind, Bobby Law reraised all in for 666,000. Robbins folded, but Esfandiari made the call.

Alper Sar looked at Esfandiari and said, "I feel it!"

"Yeah, I feel it too!" Esfandiari agreed. "I misread my hand though, I thought I had two kings," he went on to say, rolling over {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}.

Law tabled {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and looked like he was going to double up in dominating fashion.

"It's time to do what I do best," said Esfandiari as the dealer was about to spread the flop. The flop then came down {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, flopping Antonio the nuts.

"Is there a queen in the deck one time?" asked Law.

The turn brought the {J-Spades}, no help for Law. The final card off was the {7-Spades} and that did it. Law was eliminated on the hand by Esfandiari.
