Stig vs Antonio II

Antonio Esfandiari

Stig Top Rasmussen and Antonio Esfandiari have been battling with each other on the felt for several days and today's action between the two has been frantic.

In a recent hand, Rasmussen completed from the small blind and Esfandiari raised it up to 40,000 from the big blind. Rasmussen then re-popped it from the small blind, making it 110,000 to go.

Esfandiari went into the tank, "You are tough, my friend," he sighs. After several minutes of thought Esfandiari says "What the hell..." before putting in a fourth bet making it an additional 230,000.

Rasmussen goes into deep deliberation, looking at Esfandiari's remaining 580,000 chip stack. "I have the best hand," quips Rasmussen before eventually folding his cards, flashing an ace in the process.

In a fascinating hand and duel between these two, this round goes to Esfandiari.
