Esfandiari Joins the 20k Club

This pot seemed to have big potential from the start when the player under the gun raised to 425 and was called by the player to his left, Antonio Esfandiari, the cutoff and the player in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The small blind and the initial raiser checked. The player in early position led out with a bet of 1,275 and Esfandiari raised it up to 3,300. Everyone folded except for the player in early position who raised to 7,000. Esfandiari four-bet, putting himself all in and got a call.

Esfandiari: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-}{q-}

Easfandiari's set held through the {2-Clubs} on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river and he is now up to about 23,000.
