: 100/200, 0 ante
With the board showing 
by the turn, Antonio Esfandiari and two opponents put 325 each into the pot.
Esfandiari checked when the river came 
, and a player in the hijack tossed out a single blue T500 tournament chip to try and take the pot. The player holding the button called the bet, but Esfandiari knew just how to use the scare card on the river to his advantage.
With a quick check-raise to 2,400, "The Magician" made his opponent's hands disappear, and one of them offered a "nice bet" from across the table as Esfandiari dragged the pot.
