"The Magician" Makes Another Player Disappear

"The Magician"
"The Magician"
Action folded around to the small blind who open raised all in for 7,575. Antonio Esfandiari, the only player left to act, was in the big blind. After a lengthy consideration, Antonio made the call. The small blind says "You didn't have to call." Esfandiari laughingly says "You didn't have to raise." The players turned up . . .

Esfandiari: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Small Blind: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}

The board filled out {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Antonio's pair of queens were best and the small blind shook his hand on his way toward the exit.
