Nice Read by Eslami
Level 5
: 400/800, 100 ante
Ali Eslami raised to 1,700 from the cutoff and received calls from Matt Woodward on the button and John Smith in the small blind. Jonathan Duhamel then reraised from the big blind, Eslami called, Woodward folded, and Smith called, making it three-way action to the 
flop.
Smith immediately checked, Duhamel bet 12,200, Eslami called, and Smith folded as the dealer burned and turned the 
. Both players checked to see the 
peel off on the river. Duhamel threw out four blue chips, worth T5,000 each, for a bet of 20,000. Eslami, who only had about 48,000 behind, thought long and hard before making the call.
Duhamel was first to show and simply mucked without exposing his cards, obviously not happy he'd been caught bluffing. Eslami showed 
for a pair of fives to go along with the threes on board. Not bad considering the board was four-flushed with two overs. Eslami is up to around 100,000.
Eslami Gives It Up
With about 20,000 chips already in the middle, the board read 
. Ali Eslami bet 8,500 only to have Joe Tehan raise to 26,800. Eslami gave it up and Tehan won the pot.

Flush Draw in the Ocean Followed by Pig Sounds
Level 5
: 400/800, 100 ante
With about 18,000 in the pot, the flop read 
. Pat Walsh checked and Ali Eslami bet 6,500. Walsh moved all in for 39,300 and Eslami called. Walsh tabled the for trip aces and Eslami tossed his hand into the muck as he knew he couldn't win the hand no matter what the river was. There was a little bit of an issue as to whether or not Eslami's hand needed to be tabled. Eventually it was ruled that because it was an all-in situation, he must have his hand shown. It was revealed that he held the 
and was indeed drawing dead to the for Walsh.
The river completed the board with the 
and officially Eslami lost the hand. One of the spectators yelled out, "Flush draw in the ocean!" after the hand was over with. We're not really sure what that means, but we gave him a laugh. He then snorted like a pig, which was even more weird, but hey, it's all in good fun. Eslami is down to 50,000 in chips.
