Let the Magic Begin

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari has joined the action and gladly posed for a picture with one of his fans who happened to be in the seat next to him. With that done Esfandiari opened the next hand a got a call from the button and Heinz Kamutzki in the big blind. The flop of {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} was checked around, but a bet of 125 from Esfandiari on the turn {a-Clubs} saw the chips in the pot head his way.

Also joining this level are Phil Laak and Dan Shak.

Esfandiari Busts a Shortie

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We picked up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} turn when a short stack bet 1,000 with another 200 behind. Antonio Esfandiari min-raised to 2,000 and got a reluctant call from {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Esfandiari showed {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and won the pot after the {3-Hearts} river completed the board. At the same table we also have Heinz Kamutzki, who already had two top 10 results at the 2014 World Series Of Poker.

Polychronopoulos Flushed

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

The {8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board was already complete and Athanasios Polychronopoulos called a bet of what looked like 800 rather quickly. He then shook his head with a grin on the face when the opponent in the small blind turned over the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a gutshot on the flop that improved to a flush on the river.
