Kelly and Esfandiari Lose One

Over in the silver section of the Brasilia Room we just watched Dan Kelly and Antonio Esfandiari lose a few chips on their respective tables.

  • On Kelly's table, he opened the action from the hijack to 200. The small blind then three-bet to 700. Kelly made the call and a {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop was dealt. The small blind led for 800 here and Kelly called. Both players then checked the turn and a {j-Spades} hit the river. This time Kelly would fold when the small blind bet 1,625.
  • Esfandiari was in middle position and opened the pot to 175. The player in the big blind called and a {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop was spread on the felt. Esfandiari check-called a bet of 200 here and both players checked the {j-Hearts} turn. On the {a-Hearts} river, Esfandiar check-called a bet of 350 and his opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, enough to send Esfandiari's cards into the muck.
