Antonio Esfandiari raised the action up to 17,000 from early position and Tomas Brolin came over the top for the rest of his chips. It was 68,000 to Esfandiari, which represented such a small portion of his stack that he made a pretty easy call with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. Brolin flipped {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

and was looking in good shape for a double up.

However a queen in the door on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

gave "The Magician" the lead and Brolin was left needing one of three kings to survive. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

and river

{5-Clubs}

and Tomas Brolin was eliminated from the tournament, as Esfandiari's stack continues to swell.
