Esfandiari Works Some Magic

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari
On a board of {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} {A-Clubs} and with about 7,000 in the pot, Antonio Esfandiari faces a 3,850 all in raise from his opponent. Esfandiari thinks it over before making the call with {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} . His opponent flips over {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} .

Facing a full house, Esfandiari is in trouble but a {A-Spades} on the river gives him the better boat, eliminating his opponent.

Esfandiari now has a healthy 23,000.

After a flop of {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} the big blind checks, a player in middle position bets 1,050 and Michael Binger raises to 4,600. The big blind calls all in for 3,100 and the player in middle position shoves for 5,625. Binger calls for the additional 2,025.

Big Blind: {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} (top pair, king kicker)
Middle Position: {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} (top pair, ace kicker and the nut flush draw)
Binger: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} (void flush draw, two overcards)

The board fills out {10-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} giving the player in middle position a flush and the pot.

Binger drops to 3,900.

Nam Le Takes a Hit

A player on the button limps in and then calls the 800 raise from Nam Le in the small blind. The flop comes {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} and Nam leads out for 800. The button reraises to 3,000 and Nam pushes all in. The button calls for an extra 3,800 and shows {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a naked seven high flush draw. Nam flips up {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} for top two pair.

The turn brings the {J-Diamonds}, giving the button the diamond flush. The river fails to bring Nam the ace or king he needs and he drops from 12,600 to 5,000.
