Durrrr is a Fish Cake and Esfandiari is Out

Antonio Esfandiari was all in for his last 5,800 before the flop with {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. Rodrigo Portaleone looked him up with {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}, and The Magician seemed content to race for double or nothing in this spot.

He was, however, not so content with the board of {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. That gave Portaleone the winning set of jacks, moving him up to 17,000 and sending Esfandiari meandering toward the exit.

As he left, his table was chatting with Tom "durrrr" Dwan about an unusual bank robbery hypothetical he has been throwing around. This is the first we've heard of it as well, but it sounds like Esfandiari, durrrr, and Allen Cunningham are involved in an ongoing discussion about the likelihood the three of them could successfully rob a bank with one year to plan the heist.

"Durrrr thinks it's 87%!" Esfandiari yelled as he walked away. "What a fish cake!"
