The Magician Makes Testud Disappear

Paul Testud raised to 8,500 before Antonio Esfandiari reraised to 25,000. Testud then moved all in for about 40,000 total and Esfandiari made the call.

Testud held {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, but was dominated by Antonio's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {K-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} to eliminate Testud from the tournament. Esfandiari moved up to 196,000 chips on the hand. This was also his second elimination of an opponent since returning from the dinner break.
