Antonio Busts One; Gunning For Hellmuth

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A a short-stacked player raised all in from the button and Esfandiari called from the small.

Esfandiari: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Esfandiari's ace-high was good enough to scoop the pot and chip him up to 380,000.

Immediately after the hand, Esfandiari got up out of his seat and headed over to Hellmuth's table to see how he was doing. Before he left, he said, "Nobody here bust him! He's mine!"

Everyone, including Hellmuth, enjoyed a laugh.
