Kid Poker Makes the Magician Disappear

Antonio Esfandiari, who captured his third WSOP bracelet in Event #2: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em a couple of days ago, won't be getting #4 in this event.

We didn't see the hand unfold, but we do know Esfandiari was eliminated after getting it in with the nut-flush draw against Daniel Negreanu's set of sixes. Esfandiari ended up hitting his flush on the river, but the same card allowed Negreanu to improve to quads!

"Good game guys," Esfandiari said as he collected his things and made an early exit.

Romanello Takes Care of Palevic

Earlier we speculated on a possible clash between Tristan Wade and Rifat Palevic, but things turned out a bit differently. Roberto Romanello entered the tournament after his recent bust out from the €10,000 Mix Max. Coverage of that can be found here.

Romanello explained how he called down Palevic who kept firing on a {A-}{K-}{8-}{A-}{J-} board. His 'ragged ace' was the best hand, and Palevic was left behind short.

A few hands later Romanello picked up aces, and busted the Swede who had {K-}{Q-}{9-}{8-}. The money went in on the flop when Palevic had flopped a flush draw on {7-}{7-}{2-}. Romanello is off to a great start and has more than twice the starting stack.

Baker Pushed Off By Selbst

On a {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop David Baker bet 300 from the small blind. Vanessa Selbst was in the big blind and called, while the player under the gun folded.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Baker opted to check. Selbst fired out 800 and Baker called. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Baker check-folded to Selbst's all in bet worth around 1,750.

Selbst is climbing back up to the starting stack while Baker is a bit shorter.
