Antonio Esfandiari was massaged while his opponent tanked.
Antonio Esfandiari was massaged while his opponent tanked.

We found Antonio Esfandiari on the river pushing out a bet of 2,500. The board showed {5-Spades} {9-Spades} {K-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and his opponent tanked. A couple minutes passed by as his opponent counted out calling chips, counted what he would have behind and then counting his whole stack all over again. He would occasionally look at Esfandiari but Esfandiari kept his gaze straight down as he received a massage.

The unknown player finally tossed in a call after mumbling "I'm giving you a lot of credit." He tabled {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Esfandiari tabled {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} for a chopped pot.
