8-9 Not a Magical Hand for Esfandiari

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Antonio Esfandiari has dropped down to around 85,000 after a blind-on-blind confrontation turned into a rather large pot.

We caught up with it on the turn of the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

board, when Esfandiari bet out 8,100. The big blind called and they saw the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

river. Esfandiari now bet out 15,400 and his opponent called again. Esfandiari confidently turned over {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

-- but the big blind was holding {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

and took the pot.
