The Magician Disappears From the Tournament
Preflop, the player on the button raised to 3,200 and Antonio Esfandiari (who had just limped) re-raised to 8,500. The button called and they saw the 
flop.
Esfandiari bet big with 13,500 but after a bit of counting, the player on the button put 40,000 in the pot which was enough to put Esfandiari all in. He quickly called and flipped over 
to be ahead of the button player's 
, but there were still two cards to come.
The turn was the 
to give the button player two pair and the 
on the river was no help sending Esfandiari home.
