Half of The Magician's Chips Vanish

With the betting folded around to the blinds, Darvin Moon came in with a raise to 325,000. Antonio Esfandiari was in the big blind, and he came along with the call.

The flop came out {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and Moon tapped the table. Esfandiari took the opportunity to bet 480,000, but Moon was having none of it. He check-raised to 1,125,000, and Esfandiari went into the tank for a bit. After a couple minutes, he announced a re-raise, making it a total of 2,125,000. Within just a few seconds, Moon announced, "All in," and Esfandiari snap-mucked, shaking his head with a big frown on his face.

After that exchange, Esfandiari has plummeted back to 2,900,000, while Moon is up over the 12,000,000-chip mark.
