Level 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
"There's no shame in giving up," Antonio Esfandiari was saying as we reached the table. He had raised from under the gun to 925 and was facing a three-bet from Todd Newhouse in the big blind to 1,900. "He can give up right? It's in the rules?" Esfandiari asked the dealer, jokingly. "It feels like a big hand."
Esfandiari four-bet to 2,925 and Newhouse took little time to five-bet all in for 4,575, which Esfandiari called.
Esfandiari: 
Newhouse: 
The board ran out: 
Newhouse took the double up with the heart flush and Esfandiari went silent.
