Another One Floats Away

Shortly after that last hand won by Layne Flack, Antonio Esfandiari got a player with pocket queens to put all his chips in the middle on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Esfandiari showed {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the straight, and the board blanked out for his opponent who hit the rail.

"Persian carpet ride," cracked Flack.

Esfandiari is at 80,000.
