Kings for Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari recently arrived here in Melbourne for the 2013 Aussie Millions, and he's playing the Main Event today. Already, Esfandiari has built up to 48,000 in chips and looks to be very comfortable Down Under.
On a recent hand, Esfandiari fired 3,025 on the 
board after his opponent had checked. A minute or so passed, then the player made the call.
The river was the 
, and action was checked to Esfandiari again. This time, Esfandiari bet 5,050. His opponent mulled things over for a little bit, then folded. As the player mucked, he was mumbling something about how he thought he had Esfandiari beat.
Esfandiari showed the 
as he raked in the pot and said, "You had my kings beat?" with a smile.
