Esfandiari Pulls an Ace

Antonio Esfandiari

JP Kelly was close to 200,000 chips when he got mixed up in a huge preflop raising war against Antonio Esfandiari. We missed the exact action, but Kelly was the one at risk, and his {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} were racing against The Magician's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}.

Esfandiari pulled an ace from his sleeve as the dealer flopped {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} to pull him into a big lead with two to come. The turn {K-Spades} and river {6-Diamonds} were missed for Kelly, and the Brit has been ushered to the rail in 32nd place.

On the other side of the table, Esfandiari is quite flush with chips. He's approaching a half-million of them right now.
