Antonio Esfandiari

A series of preflop raises, calls, and reraises left Antonio Esfandiari as the biggest stack in a three-way pot against Archie Karas and one other player, both of whom were all in. At showdown, the tabled hands were:

Esfandiari - {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Karas -

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

Opponent - {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

The third player in the hand paired jacks on a flop of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, but the rest of the board came hearts, {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

and

{Q-Hearts}

, to give Esfandiari the nut flush. He dragged the whole pot, eliminating Karas and the third player in the process.

Esfandiari now has about 12,500 chips.
