Esfandiari Gone

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante
Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

We walked up to Antonio Esfandiari's table just as he went all in for his last 250. A few opponents called, and then there was a raise by one opponent that drove out all but one other player and Esfandiari.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and one opponent raised to get heads-up with Esfandiari. His opponent showed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and Esfandiari reluctantly showed {j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The turn and river came {6-Diamonds} and {3-Hearts}, which was no good for Esfandiari, causing him to be eliminated toward the end of level 4.
