Esfandiari Eschews Elimination

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Antonio Esfandiari was all in for 26,500 preflop holding {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, and he was racing for double or nothing against an opponent with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}.

Things were not so good for The Magician on the {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds} flop, but he smoke-and-mirrored an {A-Spades} on the turn to pull him into a big lead. The {8-Hearts} river was safe and sound, and Esfandiari has pulled in a double up to 55,000.
