Antonio Esfandiari raised to 2,000 from under the gun. The magician waited patiently as each player took their turn peeking at the hole cards...and then folding. With the big blind as Esfandiari's only possible taker, he too folds and Esfandiari wins the pot. He picks his cards up with little care, flashing two red aces to those paying attention. He is now approaching 40,000 in chips.
