Esfandiari Table Talks His Way to the Correct Decision

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Spades}, Maxim Lykov pushed a bet of 8,200 chips into the middle. Antonio Esfandiari counted out the appropriate stack of chips to make a call and carefully studied Lykov for any hint of a read. The Russian remained cool and revealed nothing until Esfandiari suddenly asked "you bluffing me?" A slight break in Lykov's facade was all the Magician needed to make the escape and currently both players are about even in chips.
