Antonio's New Trick - Making Your Opponents Disappear

[user67765]

We approached the table preflop to find J.C. Alvarado putting in a squeeze play from the big blind. He had made it 15,000 to go and the player on the button flat called the raise. The action was then with Antonio Esfandiari in the small blind who decided to move all in! It was a huge overbet of the pot but with so much dead money in the middle, Esfandiari had decided to take a shot at taking it down.

The cameras swarmed around as Alvarado was in the tank, but both players folded and Esfandiari took it down. He's up to 245,000.
