Antonio Esfandiari just took his seat and was reminded just how fun this game of poker is. With around 15,000 in the middle and the board reading {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Esfandiari led out for 6,000 into a pot of around 15,000. Alex Foxen made the call in position and the {j-Hearts} landed on the river.

Esfandiari fired another 16,000 only to have Foxen raise to 53,000. Esfandiari used up a time extension before making the call. Foxen turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a straight and Esfandiari mucked his cards. "Poker is so much fun," he said.

On the next hand, Jonathan Little raised to 5,000 and was called by Elio Fox in the big blind. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Fox check-called a bet of 10,000 from Little.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Fox checked again which led to Little betting another 30,000. Fox continued to call and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board. Fox checked one more time and Little checked behind. Fox tabled {a-}{9-} and Little rolled over {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair.
