Antonio Esfandiari had his last 25 chips in the middle versus David Inselberg in middle position. On an ace high flop, Inselberg was holding ace-king off and lost to Esfandiari, who went runner-runner for a straight.

In the next hand, Esfandiari got all against Jesse Chinni and was hoping not to bust because the two have a $5,000 bet on busting one another.

Chinni raised to raised to 1,000 to isolate Esfandiari and showed {9-Clubs}
