Antonio Esfandiari opened to 28,000 from early position and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 100,000 on the button. Esfandiari called and the flop fell {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Esfandiari check-called a bet of 55,000 from Chidwick and the {a-Hearts} paired the board on the turn.

Both players checked and the {q-Hearts} completed the board. Esfandiari led out for 141,000 and Chidwick looked him up. Esfandiari turned over {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} which was counterfeit on the river, and Chidwick tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a full house.

Here is how the rest of the table looks heading into the first 20-minute break of the day.
