Jonathan Driscoll Has Shown No Fear in the Face of Professional Aggression
After the last redraw moved Antonio Esfandiari from Jonathan Driscoll's right to his left, in terms of table position, we expected him to start taking advantage. Instead, it has been Driscoll, who dispatched Phill Hellmuth late on Day 2, continuing to run over the top pros in the world.
After the Quebec native raised to 25,000 from the button, Esfandiari three-bet and made it 75,000 to see the flop. After a lengthy tank, Driscoll decided to come along and he called the raise.
The flop fell and Esfandiari led out with a precisely measured bet of 108,000. Driscoll again paused for a few minutes to refelct, before sliding out two stacks and raising to 216,000. Esfandiari studied the situation for a minute of his own but eventually released his hand. This nearly seven-minute hand left Esfandiari with 340,000 while Driscoll continued to pad his million-plus stack.
The table folded around to Tamas Lendvai who opened with a raise to 30,000 from the button. Jean Luc Marais checked his cards in the small blind, sat quietly for a moment, then reraised to 96,000. It folded back to Lendvai who waited just a moment before announcing he was all in. Marais quickly called with his remaining chips, and the pair tabled their cards.
Lendvai showed his first -- -- then gave Marais a playful push when he showed he had . The board ran out , and the two chopped the pot.
"You call with that?!" said Lendvai with a big grin. "You go in with that," answered Marais. "Yeah," chimed Aaron Massey, sitting nearby. "You guys go all in without a pair?!? Craaaazy...."
"Yeah… can't believe he called me with just ace-high," chuckled Lendvai. Both players are still on the short side, Lendvai with 375,000 and Marais with 215,000.
In the last two hands, Antonio Esfandiari has raised to 40,000 from late position, only to fold in the face of a three-bet.
In the first hand, The Magician raised from the button and Andrew Teng made it 108,000 to go. Esfandiari mucked but tried the same move on the very next hand, raising to 40,000 from the cutoff. This time, Eric Baudry reraised to 101,000 and Esfandiari slid his cards away.
Action folded around to Jelger Wiegersma on the button who shoved all in. Philip Hammerling took little time in calling from the big blind.
Wiegersma:
Hammerling:
The flop gave both players a pair when it came but kept Hammerling in the lead. The turn and river were the and and Wiegersma was eliminated in 14th place.
