Big WSOP Hand...

[Talking Poker]

This is from the $2500 short seated NL event, which I would have loved to have played in. Maybe next year.

Title: Antonio Esfandiari quadruples up
Log: In a huge hand with three all in players, Antonio Esfandiari makes a huge move. A family pot full of limpers see a 10c-9d-4d flop. This flop ignites action as Antonio, Alex Prendes Jr., Philip Hilm and another player get involved in a pot that exceedes $40,000 from this board. Hilm pushes all in, Prendes calls, Esfandiari pushes all in and another player calls, also putting him all in. Prendes still has at least $10,000 in front of him. Antonio, with just over $10,000 invested all-in with top two (10-9), hits a full house after a 9h comes on the turn. Heads up, Hilm pushes all in for maybe $5,000 more after the 8h comes on the river and Prendes mucks J-8 face up. Hilm shows the weak straight (Qd-Jd) and was also drawing for the flush which would have still been a loser to Esfandiari's tens over nines. Esfandiari now has just over $49,000
