Esfandiari Magically Cracks Dion's Aces

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After some preflop raising, Yann Dion and Antonio Esfandiari put 18,500 in each preflop before the dealer spread the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. Dion bet 13,000, and Esfandiari raised to 27,000. Dion moved all in, and Esfandiari made the call.

Esfandiari showed top pair with the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and he was all in on the flop for 42,575. Dion had the most chips and the better hand with the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

Following the {10-Spades} on the turn, Esfandiari made two pair and took the lead. The river was the {2-Spades}, failing to provide Dion with the re-suck, and doubling up Esfandiari in a big way.
