Dumb Call made by Antonio Esfandiari at Poker After Dark session with Hollywood Celebs, still wins $283,000 Pot
A video shared on Youtube described it as: "Moving Violations" week was all about Hollywood, but in one hand, Antonio Esfandiari attempts to felt his star-studded counterparts. Jennifer Tilly has top set and Don Cheadle has top two, but "The Magician" wants to gamble with his draw for a $250,000 pot."
On Poker After Dark last week, a roster of Hollywood celebrities and poker pros had given 39-year-old Iranian poker pro Antonio Esfandiari a good chance to make a nice profit off of playing against gamble-happy non-poker pros in a juicy $50/$100 NLHE cash game. Of course, in the end he won a lot, but the highlight of his experience here is that his largest profit came in the form of sheer dumb luck after making a decision most would expect to be pulled off by an amateur with too much money on their hands.
Before the extraordinary hand took place, Esfandiari at the time had a nice stack of more than $370,000, and holding just Queen of spades and Jack of hearts, he was battling the round in a three-way pot with Don Cheadle (Ace of spades, 10 of diamonds) and Jennifer Tilly (double Aces), with a flop of 8 of clubs, Ace of hearts, and 10 of clubs. As you can imagine, it doesn't look great for ‘The Magician' at that point.
You got to watch the action to see what happened next.
Unfortunately for Jennifer Tilly, who lost the most in this pot as Esfandiari scooped his sweet $283,000 pot, skyrocketing his stack over the $500,000 mark, but Don Cheadle appeared remarkably unhappy over his $65,000 loss, considering he's an actor who earns millions of dollars a movie.
