Antonio Esfandiari opened to 43,000 from under the gun. It folded to Craig McCorkell who moved all in for 354,000 from the small blind. Action went back to Esfandiari who thought for a while.
"Well...I don't have aces...or kings...or queens or jacks," said Esfandiari. McCorkell did not react to Esfandiari's table talk.
"What have you got?" continued Esfandiari. "Tell me what to do and I'll probably do it".
McCorkell still sat motionless, his eyes obscured by his sunglasses.
"No comment?" said Esfandiari who counted out enough chips to call and then kissed them. It looked as if he may call at this point but instead picked up his cards with his other hand and threw them away, causing the Brit rail to go nuts.
