Flowers Growing

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The flop read {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Randal Flowers was heads up with an opponent. Action checked over to Flowers and he dropped forward a bet of 1,250. His opponent quickly came over the top with an all in bet and Flowers snapped him off, rolling over {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Flowers' opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and was in dire need of help to stay alive.

Flowers' jacks held through the {9-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river and he scored the elimination. His stack is now sitting around 23,000.

Strelitz Raises River

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We arrived at the table in time to see Daniel Strelitz heads up with an opponent on a board of {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Strelitz checked the river and his opponent let into the middle for 3,700. Strelitz came over the top with a raise to 11,600. This raise sent Strelitz's opponent deep into the tank for well over two minutes.

Eventually, time was called and the floor supervisor came over to the table. Strelitz's opponent was informed that he had one minute to act on his hand before it was declared dead. After about 30 more seconds, he let go of his cards. Strelitz was pushed the pot and now has about 26,000.

Esfandiari Sees Early Exit

Level 1 : 50/75, 0 ante

We arrived at the table just in time to see 2012 Big One for One Drop champion Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari taking his leave from the tournament area. From what we could gather by the end of the hand, Esfandiari and an opponent looked down at a {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} board. On the river, Esfandiari's opponent bet 1,600 and the Magician check-raised all in for what looked to be 8,200. His opponent called and showed {A-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Esfandiari tabled {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw that did not get there.
