Limped Pot Sees Big Payoff

Antonio Esfandiari limped on the button, Jeremiah Fitzpatrick limped from the small blind and Jonathan Lane tapped the table.

The flop came {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}, Fitzpatrick checked, Lane bet 60,000, Esfandiari called and Fitzpatrick folded. The turn came {4-Diamonds}, Lane checked and Esfandiari bet 135,000. Lane called and the river came {10-Diamonds}.

Lane checked and Esfandiari bet 300,000. Lane took several moments before deciding to call. Esfandiari tabled {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} for a turned set and Lane mucked.

Alessandro Longobardi - 6th Place

Antonio Esfandiari opened to 65,000 from under the gun and Alessandro Longobardi replied by moving all in from the button. Jonathan Lane looked down at his cards from the small blind and re-shipped all in over the top.

Craig McCorkell stared at his cards in the big blind and tanked for over a minute before mucking. Esfandiari quickly got out of the way and the hands were shown:

Longobardi: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Lane: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board came {5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} and Lonobardi was not able to find his ever elusive pair of jacks. He will collect $63,988 for his efforts.
