Yesterday I really saw one of the most funny hands in poker history between two of my favorite players: Antonio Esfandiari and Daniel Negreanu. Sick thing in this hand: Antonio Esfandiari ends up folding a straight flush!!

The hand was played during an Event of the World Series of Poker 2010. Look at this total madness:

So in the end there’s a STRAIGHT FLUSH on the board. What happens next is awesome television: Antonio tries to take the pot with a 3k bet, but then Daniel raises to 9k . Antonio knows of course that they will always chop this pot except if Daniel is holding the six of spades. Whether Daniel had it or not, we’ll never know, but fact is that Antonio Esfandiari is folding a straight flush here. I guess you’ve never done such a thing before in your poker career.

This fragment also reminded me of an earlier clash between those two awesome players, when they played at High Stakes Poker. Look at one of the finest moments in this show’s history:

Till next time!
