Driscoll Drills the Magician
After the last redraw moved Antonio Esfandiari from Jonathan Driscoll's right to his left, in terms of table position, we expected him to start taking advantage. Instead, it has been Driscoll, who dispatched Phill Hellmuth late on Day 2, continuing to run over the top pros in the world.
After the Quebec native raised to 25,000 from the button, Esfandiari three-bet and made it 75,000 to see the flop. After a lengthy tank, Driscoll decided to come along and he called the raise.
The flop fell 
and Esfandiari led out with a precisely measured bet of 108,000. Driscoll again paused for a few minutes to refelct, before sliding out two stacks and raising to 216,000. Esfandiari studied the situation for a minute of his own but eventually released his hand. This nearly seven-minute hand left Esfandiari with 340,000 while Driscoll continued to pad his million-plus stack.
