Esfandiari's Chips Doing a Disappearing Act of Their Own

Antonio Esfandiari has been one of the bigger stacks throughout the day but that recently changed. In the hand, there was around 35,000 in the pot with a board reading {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The small blind checked to Esfandiari on the button and he counted out a bet of 29,800.

The small blind thought about it for a minute before moving all in and Esfandiari snap called and showed {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a straight and flush draw. The small blind showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and was ahead going into the last card. The {10-Clubs} on the river ensured the small blinds double, which was a total of 53,100. After the hand, Esfandiari was left with right around 15,000.
