[user67765]

Antonio Esfandiari-- 8th Place

The button is with Luca Pagano in Seat 3.

Pagano makes a button-raise to 80,000 and Antonio Esfandiari re-raises all in from the big blind for around 480,000 more. Pagano quickly calls and the cards are flipped:

Esfandiari: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

Pagano:

{A-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

Pagano's dominant hand turns to an absolute monster when he flops the nuts with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

. Needing a jack to chop the pot, the turn and river arrives {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

to eliminate a dejected Esfandiari in eighth place for a payday of $266,004.
