Eslami Hanging In There
Action folded to a short-stacked Ali Eslami in the small blind and he just limped, prompting Stephen Cesaro to check his option from the big. The 

flop saw Eslami check over to Cesaro, who bet 4,000. Eslami thought for a moment before announcing a raise to 9,000, which inspired Cesaro to fold.
