Disappearing Act

Former magician Antonio Esfandiari has disappeared from his seat, but his table was kind enough to spoil the act.

According to his former tablemates, Esfandiari and an opponent got all the chips in the middle after a flop of {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-}. Esfandiari held a straight flush draw with [jc tc} and needed to improve against an opponent's {q-}{q-} (without the {q-Clubs}).

The turn was another {9-} giving Esfandiari just two outs and couldn't make his straight flush when the river bricked off.
