Newhouse Doubles Through Esfandiari

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

"There's no shame in giving up," Antonio Esfandiari was saying as we reached the table. He had raised from under the gun to 925 and was facing a three-bet from Todd Newhouse in the big blind to 1,900. "He can give up right? It's in the rules?" Esfandiari asked the dealer, jokingly. "It feels like a big hand."

Esfandiari four-bet to 2,925 and Newhouse took little time to five-bet all in for 4,575, which Esfandiari called.

Esfandiari: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Newhouse: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out: {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Newhouse took the double up with the heart flush and Esfandiari went silent.
