The Tension Mounts

A few tense moments just played out on the felt between Antonio Esfandiari and JC Tran.

It all started with a 6,400 open from Esfandiari before things got really quiet. Tran moved it up to 15,500 and after a good minute or two in the tank, Esfandiari emerged with a call. The flop came down and after a check from Esfandiari, Tran bet out 13,200.

It took less than a minute for Esfandiari to make it 21,800 more and the next thing you knew it was a race to get all the chips in the middle as it was potted and re-potted until both players had it all in.

Tran turned over and Esfandiari was on and after the run out, they took their stacks back and chopped up the rest.
