A Disappearing Act

We caught up with a hand in progress as the dealer spread out a flop of {10-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Joe Cassidy was first to speak, and he passed over to Antonio Esfandiari. The Magician slid out a bet of 8,400 before Cassidy check-raised him to 45,000 straight.

That raise was enough to cover Esfandiari, and he would go deep into the tank for several minutes. Eventually, he let out a quiet, "Nice hand," and made the call for his tournament life.

Esfandiari tabled {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} for the wired pair of jacks, Vince. As he seemed to suspect already though, the {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} of Cassidy had out-flopped his pocket pair, leaving him dead to two outs (or runner-runner) for his survival. The turn was a blank {7-Diamonds}, as was the river {5-Clubs}; no help to The Magician. With that, Esfandiari wished his table luck and headed off toward the exit.
