Antonio Esfandiari, seen earlier teaching chip tricks to tablemate Layne Flack, put in a big raise to 650, and the player in the big blind called. The flop came {6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The BB player checked, Esfandiari bet 700 (about half the pot), and he was called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}. Again the BB player checked, and this time Esfandiari bet 1,200. Again came the call.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}. Again Esfandiari's opponent checked, and this time the Magician bet 3,300. All those bets finally did the job, as his opponent folded.

Esfandiari won another nice-sized pot just after that one, and is now up to 48,000.
