Antonio Esfandiari - 24th Place
Antonio Esfandiari opened with a raise to 310,000 from under the gun, and Steven Begleiter called from middle position. The others got out of the way, and the flop came {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Esfandiari continued with a bet of 535,000, then Begleiter raised to a total of 1.61 million. Esfandiari pulled out a column of chips, then announced he was all in. It was about 2.5 million more for Begleiter to call, and he thought a bit before saying he was willing to commit the chips.

Esfandiari {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Begleiter {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Begleiter clapped his hands once when he saw Esfandiari's cards. The turn brought the {6-Hearts}, giving Esfandiari an inside straight draw. "No three, no five," said Begleiter. The river was the {A-Spades}, and Esfandiari is out.

Begleiter is up around 15 million now.
