"I Guess that Means You Win"

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

We just saw an interesting hand that left us scratching our heads. From the button, Antonio Esfandiari opened to 700 and the player in the big blind re-raised to 1,500. Esfandiari called and the flop fell {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}.

The big blind c-bet 1,500 and Esfandiari called. The turn came {7-Spades}, the big blind bet 2,000 and Esfandiari called. The river came {6-Hearts}, the big blind bet 5,000 and Esfandiari lazily tossed in a call.

"I guess that means you win," the big blind said.

"You have to show first sir," Esfandiari said. The big blind then mucked his hand and Esfandiari mucked his as well. The dealer awarded to pot to Esfandiari.
