Bonding Sticks Around
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Lars Bonding opened the action with a raise from early position to 190,000. Antonio Esfandiari three-bet from middle position to 405,000 and Bonding called.
The flop came 
and Bonding checked-called a continuation-bet from Esfandiari for 265,000. The turn fell 
and Bonding checked. Esfandiari fired a second barrel of 485,000 and Bonding peeled. The river was 
and both players checked.
Bonding tabled 
and the dealer announced his hand of aces and queens with a king kicker. Esfandiari hesitated for a moment before checking his cards and then sending them to the muck.
