Over on Table 4, a player in middle position came into the pot first with a limp. Action passed to Patrice Sitbon in the small blind, and he put out the call as well. Antonio Esfandiari was in the big blind, and he used his option to put in a big raise, making it 7,500 to play. The original limper thought for a minute before making the call. Sitbon could have concluded the action, but he quickly moved all in over the top of both players, pushing out about 60,000 chips.

Esfandiari shot a stare across at Sitbon and took several minutes to consider his move. He eyed up his opponent's stack, as well as his own, appearing to be somewhat amused with the play. Finally, he did let his hand go. The third player in the hand pounded the table with his knuckles, then open-mucked his {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. Sitbon decided to show what he was working with: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, as he raked in about 16,000 free chips.
