The Magician Works His Magic

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Antonio Esfandiari opened from middle position for 4,600 and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and the player in the big checked, prompting a 6,700 c-bet from Esfandiari. His opponent called.

When the {K-Hearts} fell on the turn, the big checked again and Esfandiari didn't let up - instead betting 12,000. His opponent immediately slid his remaining stack across the table and Esfandiari called just as quickly.

Esfandiari: {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The river bricked and Esfandiari scooped the sizable pot - eliminating his opponent in the process.

Esfandiari is now among the chip leaders with 185,000.
