Esfandiari Edges Upward

It folds around to Daniel Colman on the button who limps, then Talal Shakerchi pushes all in for approximately 50,000 from the small blind. Bill Perkins releases his hand from the big blind, and Colman quickly tosses his cards away as well.

The next hand sees the table fold all of the way around to Perkins in the small blind who raises to 7,000, earning him the blinds and antes.

Antonio Esfandiari is the next to open a pot, raising to 7,000 from early position. Colman calls from the hijack seat, and Kathy Lehne calls from the big blind as well.

The flop comes all spades — 1065 — and after Lehne checks Esfandiari bets 13,000. Colman calls and Lehne folds. The turn is the 3. Esfandiari checks this time, and Colman checks as well. The river is the 5 and both check again.

Esfandiari shows K10 for tens and fives, and Colman mucks. Esfandiari edges up to about 130,000 while Colman is now at around 160,000.
