Esfandiari Sends One Home
We picked up the action at the flop as a player in mid-position bet out 2,700 on 
. Antonio Esfandiari raised it up to 7,600 from the cutoff and his opponent made the call. Both players checked the 
on the turn after which the dealer put down the 
as the final community card. The player in mid-position checked to Esfandiari who announced all-in. Now the long wait began as Esfandiari's opponent had to decide if he wanted to risk his last 15,000 in chips to find out if the Big One for One Drop winner was bluffing or not. After several minutes past the curiosity won and the player announced to the dealer that he called. That was Esfandiari's signal to show his 
for trips. Esfandiari raked in the chips as his opponent wished the players at the table good luck and mucked.
