Esfandiari Takes Himself to Value Town

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

When we caught up with the action, a player in middle position had raised and Antonio Esfandiari reraised from the small blind. His opponent called even though we missed the exact preflop amounts.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and Esfandiari continued with his agression, betting out 525. His opponent called.

Esfandiari fired again when a {5-Clubs} fell on the turn, this time for 1,200. His opponent again called.

When a {6-Clubs} completed the board, the Magician fired the fourth and final barrel for 2,500. His opponent called. Esfandiari revealed the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}, which was out-kicked by his opponents {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

Esfandiari gained chips early but is now back down to 16,500.
