Singh Snares Some from Esfandiari

Michael Singh raises from under the gun, then Antonio Esfandiari raises to 4,000 even from the button. It folds back to Singh who calls, and the pair watch a flop come 8A4. Singh checks, Esfandiari bets 5,200, and Singh calls. The turn is the 3 and Singh checks again. After a long look at the situation, Esfandiari checks behind.

The river brings the 2 and one more check from Singh. This time Esfandiari waits for a while again, then fires 15,300. Singh gathers chips to call and after a brief pause sets them forward.

Singh shows what looks like A-5 for a pair of aces and Esfandiari mucks. Singh has about 125,000 now while Esfandiari sits with about 80,000.
