We picked up the action after a flop of 
, and we watched Antonio Esfandiari move all in for the remainder of his ~700,000-chip stack. We can't say for sure what the betting action was that led to the chips going in, but we can definitely say that Peter Gilmore made the call to put Esfandiari at risk.
Showdown
Esfandiari: 
Gilmore: 
Upon seeing Esfandiari's aces, Gilmore flung his cards high up into the air and onto the felt face-up, a bit disgruntled by his wrong call. The turn 
changed nothing.
Fifth street, however, was quite the game changer. Esfandiari wasn't watching as the dealer sealed his fate with a river 
. The sizable group of railbirds all reacted in unison, and The Magician knew what happened before he looked up to catch a glimpse of the river card that had just ended his day.
"Oops," Gilmore said, shaking his head.
Esfandiari stood up and shook the hand of each of his table mates, wishing them all good luck. When he came to Gilmore, the young man said, "Sorry."
"Don't say sorry," Esfandiari instructed. "Very nice hand."
Always a gentleman, Antonio Esfandiari is out in 12th place.
