As is his wont, Antonio Esfandiari played his first-round match against Nicolas Chouity with his shoes off. Esfandiari's sock choice today is a pair of garish yellow and orange argyle socks.
Behind in the match, Chouity limped his button pre-flop. Esfandiari raised, Chouity re-raised all in and Esfandiari called. Chouity had the best of it with 
against the Magician's 
. He still had the best after a flop of 
and a turn 
.
"How about a five?" Esfandiari asked the dealer. Naturally, the river was the 
to give Esfandiari a wheel. He eliminated Chouity and will return tomorrow for the Round of 32.
Before departing the stage Esfandiari hugged his dealer.
