Eslami Loses A Race

Action started with Ali Eslami, who raised it up to 1,800. It folded around to the button, and he made the call. The small blind was next, and he shoved all in for about 13,000. Eslami made the call, and the button got out of the way. The cards were tabled, and it was a classic race.

Eslami: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The flop came down {2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, which provided little help for Eslami. The turn, the {7-Hearts}, gave Eslami flush draw outs to go along with his ace and queen outs. However, the river came the {5-Clubs}, which was a brick for Eslami. After the hand, Eslami is down to under 35,000.
