The Magician Tries to Make a Player Disappear
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We watched Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari call his opponent's all-in raise of 1,000 more with his . After already building a huge stack of chips, Esfandiari could easily afford the call with a chance to bust a fellow player. The opponent held and would need to dodge the deck's aces and diamonds to survive.
The final board rolled out and The Magician's ace-high was bested by the queens of his opponent. Esfandiari took a small hit to his stack while the opponent doubled through and retook his seat.
