Here Comes Esfandiari

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Antonio Esfandiari on Day 1.
Antonio Esfandiari on Day 1.

Action folded around to Jim McCrink on the button and he put in a raise to 15,000. Antonio Esfandiari was next to act in the small blind and opted for a three-bet to 38,000. The big blind quickly folded and McCrink took about a minute before he four-bet to 90,000.

Esfandiari hit the tank hard for about four minutes before waking up with a five-bet to 193,000. With the pressure back on McCrink, he spent about three minutes in the tank before announcing that he was all in for roughly 480,000. Esfandiari snap-called.

Esfandiari: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
McCrink: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"Nice hand," McCrink complimented his opponent. Esfandiari was out of his seat with his gaze firmly fixed on the flop, which came down {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. McCrink came up dry and needed a nine in order to stay alive. The {a-Spades} turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the {J-Hearts} river.

The stacks were counted down just to make sure, and then Esfandiari was awarded the monster pot.
