Esfandiari Runs Into Aces and Hits the Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Antonio Esfandiari

Farah Galfond opened with a raise to 3,000 from early position, and Antonio Esfandiari called. Action folded around to the cutoff, where Kevin Schulz re-raised to 12,000. Galfond called, and Esfandiari called, as well.

On the {Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop, Galfond and Esfandiari checked over to Schulz, who bet 15,000. Galfond folded, but Esfandiari called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and Esfandiari checked again. Schulz bet 35,000. Esfandiari thought for a bit, then moved all in for around 100,000. Schulz called instantly.

Esfandiari: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}
Schulz: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

Esfandiari was way behind and needed a queen or a jack to stay alive, but the river was the {K-Clubs}, and that did it for him. He hit the rail, while Schulz brought in his stack, bringing him to just under 400,000 chips.
