"I turn you into a donkey!"
"I turn you into a donkey!"
Antonio Esfandiari raises to 400 in the small blind after a limper. The limper calls after the big blind folds. Esfandiari bet 725 on the {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, but was called and gave up; check-folding to a 750 bet on the {J-Spades} turn.

He's down to 4,500, so no need to pull the rabbit out of the hat yet. He has made 40% of his chips disappear so far.
