Esfandiari Folds a Straight Flush

Daniel Negreanu opened for 700 from the button, Antonio Esfandiari called from the small blind and Joe Hachem called from the big blind.

The flop was {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}. Esfandiari led out for a min-bet of 300 and only Negreanu called. Both players checked the {5-Spades} on the turn. The river was the {4-Spades} putting an ace-to-five straight flush on the board. Esfandiari overbet the pot, making it 3,000 to go. Negreanu, however, raised to 9,000 and Esfandiari gave it up.

"That's the first time I've ever folded a straight flush!" Esfandiari said as Negreanu stacked up the pot.
