Missed Opportunity for the Magician

[user153906]

A massive pot just took place over at Table 7. And it could have been much, much bigger.

Cliff Josephy, Cary Katz and another player ended up all in after a series of preflop raises. The action was then on Antonio Esfandiari, who immediately tossed his pocket jacks into the muck face-up. Cards on their backs:

Katz: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Josephy: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Big Blind: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Board: {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} {3-Spades}

Katz won with his pair of kings and raked in a pot worth around 85,000. Esfandiari, also hovering around 85,000, lowered his face into his palms as he envisioned what could have been.
