Two for Esfandiari; Petitti Eliminated
Antonio Esfandiari opened to 62,000 from middle position and was called by Martin Sejer in the cutoff. Cory Williams was on the button and three-bet to 142,000. With the action back on Esfandiari, he four-bet shoved all in for 1,073,000. Sejer quickly folded and Williams went into the tank.
"That's a good sign," Esfandiari said, but then quickly went into a still pose. After a couple of minutes, Williams folded his hand but briefly showed Sejer to his right.
"What? No way!" Sejer exclaimed. After some discussion around the table, Sejer confirmed that Williams folded pocket queens.
In the next hand, Esfandiari raised to 51,000 again and Nicholas Petitti shipped all in for 181,000. Esfandiari quickly called and tabled 
against Petitti's 
. The board ran out 
and Esfandiari eliminated Petitti with a pair of aces.
