Esfandiari Claims Another

Brian Green decided to make a move with {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, pushing his short stack into the middle to try and steal the blinds, but Antonio Esfandiari, playing the rush, made the call with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and Green was sent to the rail. "Sorry sir, I'm never folding an ace there," explained Esfandiari as he elevated his stack to even greater heights -- estimated to be in the vicinity of 650,000.
