"Wow, That is Sick"

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

There was about 10,000 in the pot with a board reading {K-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and action was on Antonio Esfandiari. His sole opponent in Seat 5 had moved all in for 10,075 and it was up to Esfandiari to call or fold.

He agonized over the decision for a few moments before reluctantly making the call. Seat 5 turned over {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for two pair while Esfandiari sheepishly turned over {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for a smaller two pair.

There was over 30,000 in the pot when the {K-Hearts} hit the river. The table reacted with gasps of disbelief while Seat 5 seemed to be in shock. Esfandiari quietly stacked his chips and waited for seat 5 to make his exit before saying, "Wow, that is sick." Esfandiari is up to around 40,000.
