Evdakov 2, Esfandiari 1
The last time we reported on Nikolay Evdakov and Antonio Esfandiari the former was doubling-up through the latter. Since then it seems as if Esfandiari got some of those chips but the Russian has just doubled-up through him again prompting Esfandiari to say "Nice hand. That's two-one now".
The hand started with an Evdakov raise from UTG and three players called including Esfandiari in the BB. The flop came and Esfandiari led for 5,100. Evdakov raised to 12,000 and when it was folded back to Esfandiari he set Evdakov all-in for his last 29,000. Call.
Esfandiari: for a nut flush draw.
Evdakov: for middle set.
The turn and river missed the American, sending the chips Russia's way. Evdakov has 66,000 to Esfandiari's 75,000 chips.
