The Tension Mounts
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
A few tense moments just played out on the felt between Antonio Esfandiari and JC Tran.
It all started with a 6,400 open from Esfandiari before things got really quiet. Tran moved it up to 15,500 and after a good minute or two in the tank, Esfandiari emerged with a call. The flop came down 
and after a check from Esfandiari, Tran bet out 13,200.
It took less than a minute for Esfandiari to make it 21,800 more and the next thing you knew it was a race to get all the chips in the middle as it was potted and re-potted until both players had it all in.
Tran turned over 
and Esfandiari was on 
and after the 
run out, they took their stacks back and chopped up the rest.
