Antonio Esfandiari: 
Daniel Tang: 
Esfandiari had a comfortable lead with his pocket kings against Tang's one overcard. However, the flop came 
and Tang spiked an ace to take the lead. The dealer burned and turned the 
on the turn and Esfandiari jumped out of his seat as screams could be heard throughout the room.
Esfandiari just realized that it wasn't over yet as he came rushing back to the table to see the river card. Tang would need to hit a ten on the river but it was the 
that completed the board. Esfandiari scored a huge double up to keep his Main Event hopes alive.
