Magician Pulls the Rabbit Out of the Hat

Antonio Esfandiari
Antonio Esfandiari

Antonio Esfandiari found his tournament life hanging by the very thinnest of threads when he moved all in with {A-Spades}{5-Spades} versus the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} of Scotty Nguyen.

The {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop offered him a welcome flush draw, and although the {6-Diamonds} turn was the wrong color and shape, the river wasn't, the dealer laying a {3-Spades} on the baize to double the Magician through.

"Yes!" said Esfandiari. "There is a God."

"There's no more God," countered a wounded Nguyen.

"There is, I knew he was out there."

Nguyen down to 60,000.
