Esfandiari Eliminated

Antonio Esfandiari is no longer with us. With the stacks at his table getting larger and larger, Esfandiari watched as an opponent raised, he reraised all in with {k-}{10-}, then was called by his opponent who held {A-}{k-}. The board brought no help to Esfandiairi, and he joins the 250 or so players who have already cashed in this one.

Baekke for More

We said earlier that Allan Baekke was on fire. A quick check back at his table reveals that he is continuing to burn through opponents.

Aurelien Guiglini was all in before the flop with {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}, behind Baekke's {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. The board came {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Guiglini is out. Baekke is now up around 395,000.

Understatement

Antonio Esfandiari

Melvin Podaima open-raised all in with his last 20,000 from early position, and it folded to Antonio Esfandiari who called from the cutoff seat. The others got out, and Podaima turned over {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and needed help versus Esfandiari's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The dealer burned one and spread out the flop -- {7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

"Not your best flop," deadpanned Esfandiari. Actually, it couldn't really be worse. Podaima was already drawing dead.

Esfandiari now has 113,000.

Montgomery Working on a $1K Sequel

We're under 100 players now, and Scott Montgomery -- winner of Event #36, the last of these $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events -- has once again accumulated a big stack. Montgomery himself told us some of the story of how he won his most recent big pot.

After raising to 10,000, he got two callers, including one in the big blind. The flop came jack-high and it folded to Montgomery who bet 20,000. One opponent folded, but the big blind then shoved for 73,000, and Montgomery called.

Montgomery held {A-}{J-} which was best at the time, and it remained so following the turn and river. He's now sitting with 190,000.
