Henrik Kjellberg - 23 Jun 2008

Game Type: No Limit Texas Hold’em
Tournament: 2005 World Series of Poker Circuit - New Orleans
Players in hand: Antonio Esfandiari, Walter Chambers

Starting Hands
Walter Chambers: J 9
Antonio Esfandiari: A 2

Walter Chambers had almost busted himself out of this event on Day One, but now was sitting at the final table with a bunch of amateurs and one pro, The Magician. Walter opened raised to $35k.

Antonio Esfandiari kept his reputation intact as a power player with a raise to $125,000. 

The Flop
5 4 J

Antonio, UTG, bet $145,000.
Chambers called.

The Turn
T

Antonio bets $360,000.
Chambers moves all in.
Antonio goes into the tank. He looks sick. His semi-bluff can’t hold up against the aggression of Chambers and he folds his gutshot draw and loses $600k.
