Level 1
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Marc-Andre Ladouceur and Antonio Esfandiari battled in the blinds and it was the latter that came out on top.
On a 
flop Esfandiari led for 4,300 from the small blind and Ladouceur called to the 
turn where he bet 6,500 when the action was checked to him. Esfandiari check-raised to 20,000 and his Canadian opponent called.
The river fell 
and both players checked. Esfandiari opened 
and it was good as Ladouceur mucked.
