Esfandiari Exits a Second Time

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Matt Stout checked to Antonio Esfandiari on a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Esfandiari bet 6,300, and Stout check-raised to 15,700.

"You are so ready to turn your cards over," Esfandiari commented, examining Stout.

Finally, Esfandiari moved all in, and Stout was priced in to call.

Stout: {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Esfandiari: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

"I almost got you," Stout chuckled.

He did get Esfandiari when the {8-Diamonds} turned, giving Stout a straight, and the {k-Diamonds} completed the board. Esfandiari stood up from the table and wished the players luck before hitting the rail.

Stout is up to 250,000 chips.

One For Alvarado

We picked up the action with Tobias Reinkemeier having 15,000 out in front of him and facing a raise to 26,500 by JC Alvarado. The German made the call and then checked the {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. Alvarado took the opportunity to bet 14,600, and it was enough to get the job done as Reinkemeier released his hand.

It wasn't a huge pot, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their chip stacks.

To the Max

Max Silver opened to from under the gun, Joe Elpayaa three-bet from the cutoff seat, and Silver called.

The dealer fanned {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Silver checked, and Elpayaa tossed out 2,400. Silver called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, both players checked, and the {5-Hearts} completed the board. Silver bet 6,800, and Elpayaa called. Silver tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for a pair of queens, and raked in the pot.

"We All Have a Chance"

Will Molson - Eliminated
Will Molson - Eliminated

Jason Mercier just stood up from his table and walked over to talk to Will Molson, who was standing on the rail. When asked if he was out, Molson said that he was "double bust-o."

"Ah shit," Mercier responded. "Now we all have a chance."

Molson finished runner-up in this event in 2009 and 2010, and won it in 2011. They are the three largest cashes of his career, totaling more than $1.6 million.

Chippies

Benba Trending Up

Ben Lamb and Joey Weissman were heads up on a board of {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Lamb led out for 45,000 - which looked to be about 110 percent of the pot - and Weissman went deep into the tank.

Eventually, he folded, and Lamb flashed the {q-Clubs}.

Philipp Gruissem moved all in against Jonathan Duhamel on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}, and Duhamel called putting himself at risk.

Gruissem: {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Duhamel: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Duhamel held as the turn and river came {9-Clubs}, {4-Clubs} respectively, doubling to 83,000 chips. Gruissem slipped to 42,000.

Cheong Busts First Bullet

Joseph Cheong was all in preflop with the {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and dominated against the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} for Matt Stout.

The flop, turn and river ran out {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, and Cheong was eliminated. He did say he'd be back, though, so we'll probably see him later or tomorrow.
