Antonio Esfandiari passed on the details of his final hand in today's tournament. According to Esfandiari, with additional commentary from Mike Gracz, Jesse Chinni raised to 400 from early position.

The player in the 1 seat then re-raised all in for 3,000 and the player in the 2 seat called all in for 2,000. Esfandiari put his last 275 in the pot, and Chinni called. The hands were:

Chinni - {K-?} {Q-?}
1 seat - {6-?} {4-?}
2 seat - {A-?} {10-?}
Esfandiari - {5-?} {3-?}

When the board ran out 6-3-5-A-7, Esfandiari had flopped two pair and the player in the one seat rivered a straight and took the entire pot.

When the hand was over, Gracz looked at Esfandiari who was packing up and said "They may find another chip under your bag. You'd better pack up and go away."
