Poker is Easy?

It was an open-raise to 2,800 in front of Antonio Esfandiari before he reraised to 10,000. A player behind Esfandiari moved in for 10,000 more on top. After the open-raiser folded, Esfandiari called with {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. He was up against {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}, but paired his king on a flop of {K-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} and never looked back. With two more blanks on the board, Esfandiari took down the pot to eliminate an opponent and increase his chip count to 70,000.
