Tom Dwan & Antonio Esfandiari - Unbelievable hand.flv

[zazenzach]

you know someone is nervous when they start fake yawning uncontrollably

[tqsuited]

I'm surprised how restrained Dwan was on the flop and turn. Esfandiari should've let him continuation bet then raised like he only has A5 or something, middle pair, Dwan might call. Then continue betting on the turn, might still see the unlucky river but extract more money had it not come.

[CharlyRaaad]

asfandiari is literally the coolest player (or one of them). he is one of the few pokerplayers who understand that poker is still gambling at the end of the day and dont go ballistic on his opponent if he loses..

[Acesfull27]

good check on the turn by Dwan, He had a feeling his queens were beat

[chadgarland]

safai is such a annoying ass troll.



[Knightstrikes]

The best hand preflop held up. What the fuck its wrong with all of you. I dont give a shit if its 1 outter!!! FIRST ESFANDIARI GOT LUCKY HITTING A SET ON THE FLOP. AND THEN

DURRR GOT LUCKY HITTING SET ON RIVER. FAIR JUSTICE! IT'S FUCKING POKER. I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! LOL.

[behdabra]

Antonio Esfandiari is a REAL GENTLEMAN !

[ueberdruff]

imagine hellmuth having the 7pocket hahaha

[paranoid711]

Ehhh, Durrr had the best hand to begin with, no apologies necessary.

[XPSftw]

What are they bitching about, he called with an overpair, Antonio slow played and got unlucky. It happens lol

[BlueRazor2]

Why is there a small stack of red chips in-front of Antonio if he is felted?

[Knightstrikes]

@BlueRazor2

Good fucking question. I wonder that myself when Durrr had way more and

had him covered!!! WTF is going on here??? lol DEALER DO YOUR JOB!!!

REMOVE THOSE CHIPS FROM ESFANDIARI LOL HAHA. I actually have

no idea. but its almost 100% that Durrr had him cover. lol

[Duelistic678Thinker]

i dont like antonio's 3bet on the river.. what's he putting durr on that will call? ?? ?

[PlayaplayaAP]

Why did dwan take so long .... He couldn't wait to show his hand wow!! What a bad beat!!

[RvE15021985]

must be nice

[craigybaby10101]

i think he was saying sorry because he asked how much antonio had when he would call anyway,whatever the responce was,it was a slight slow roll

[cjbridle1]

nice 3b antonio. lol....................

[phobiazzzero]

i know every single hand from poker after dark and HSP..but for some reason im re-watching ,and re-watching them all..almost every day....strange!!!

[Antonlizard]

jajjajaa dwan is the best!!!

[couragio235]

SHIT LUCK YES POKER PRO MY FUCKING BALLS. POKER IS A GAME SIMPLY BASED ON LUCK - PERIOD!!!

[lorrenzopicozzi]

@couragio235 you are very right but every one has the same amount of luck so if your loosing of winning depends purely on your skills and nothing else.....manage your bankroll play good poker, and dont play when you are loosing too much (tilt) of are tired! and...you will win!

[gabrielleung]

@couragio235 Then why don't you go and win yourself a million dollars on a tournament if there are no skills involved?

[NVOLIKOS]

Esfandiari is a great player like Dwan maybe better. BUT he always gets unlucky and that's a pity. Dwan on the other hand is always annoyingly lucky.

[T1memaster]

@NVOLIKOS

nah dwan is better

[SuperPedro1976]

@NVOLIKOS DWAN is far better ...much better u can chek in the net who is better.dwan is one of the best CASH players in the world i think is nr 2 phil ivey nr1

[kelmandevil]

thats so sick, as the announcer said "how could antonio put him on a set of queens" I'm not sure there's a poker player alive who could or would fold that hand to that raise.

might have just called instead of the all in, but i'm not about to second guess.

ps asking how much, bit of a slow roll

[CoLLecToR91]

lol everyone knows safai is a super donk

"HEY DURRRRR IT WAS A ONE OUTER, HEY oNE OUTER GUYS, DURR"

[Kratatch]

I would have ben more afraid of 6-8 than Q-Q

[Kratatch]

@Kratatch Been*

[banditz893]

SO SICK!!!

[hidepuller2008]

Only bad move was the all in. Checking to the river actually would have saved him money cause i doubt he would have pushed durr off the hand anyway. Only 99, qq or 68 could beat his hand,. he should known 68 was a possibility and just call. Durr has a big rep for bluffing so even if he was bluffing, he's only folding to the all in anyway.

[DanielandHannah4ever]

That really was unbelievable. I didn't figure Antonio was going to raise all-in, since that was the only wrong move he could have really made in that spot.

[valdez87]

@DanielandHannah4ever The only right move was a call... he can't fold

[cashin31]

Esfandiari has just had a line of coke. Keeps playing with his nose.

[1skullduggery]

tom strikes on durrrr river...

[bungle115]

most the money went in after he hit his one outter.

[mahtay2000]

When Dwan came on the scene, he hit every bad play to look good. About 3 seasons into High Stakes he started to play like a fkn legend though. So, I really hated him at first-anyone can look good if your cards land-but now I really respect his live cash play.

[truth3253]

@mahtay2000 hello  nothing but luck. poker is a game of luck no skill at all

[flattoptyce]

@truth3253 False. The actual possibilities are luck but there is skill in being able to bluff and knowing when to bet and when to fold based on your current hand.

[truth3253]

@flattoptyce when the average stack is less the 15 blinds skill =0 luck = 100. how do you bluff a donk some never fold lol

[pabloernesto19]

Easy insta fold.

i check fold the river,you are all n00bs i put Dwan on QQ al the time. N00BS

[DopeSince92]

@pabloernesto19 I love how a 1$ sit & go player thinks he knows everything. Its easy toread a player when you can see his cards.

[pabloernesto19]

@DopeSince92 You n000b. I owned souls at poker

[icecold40oz]

antonio let him get there, and durr got lucky. Sufai STFU!!!

[AKABoxingFan]

It's not truly a one outer, cos the betting happened AFTER the Q came.

D'uh.

Maybe he would not have played it not having the set. these guys are calling it a one outer AFTER the whole board was laid. That's not right, after the whole board was laid he had the winning hand.

[socctty]

We know it was a one outer, but the players don't know it was a one outer. For the purposes of discussing the logic of Esfandiari giving Dwan a free card, it's a two outer. Still hate to see it happen.

[rickybobby5150]

This is why Esfandiari is the best... he knows the deal

[RealSoundNow]

No matter what, Antonio is losing his whole stack here. Dwan will always at least call a turn bet, and once the set-over-set happens on the river they are both raising to all-in with Esfandiari's stack. No one is going to play scared of 6,8 with those stack sizes.

[socctty]

@RealSoundNow Esfandiari could and likely would have check-raised the turn if Dwan bet it. And even if he only called Dwan, he'd know that Dwan had something. Esfandiari always could have just called Dwan on the river as well, instead of just pushing all-in. Esfandiari was going to show down for sure, but I don't think it was a lock that he was going all-in no matter what.

[richrichrichism]

regardless of the river card,  dwan played this hand like a fking boss

[sl3ptsolong]

fake yawn of durr preflop should be a sign he has a nice hand. too busy joking around. antonio fake yawn after the hand lol "naaah i dont care if i lost all my money" yaaaawn

[squraishi99]

No need to say sorry, it's poker.

[Alephify]

@squraishi99 he said sorry for the "possible" slowroll on calling too slow with second nuts...

[robgalbenu]

@squraishi99 he said sorry for slow rolling cos he had the nuts but didnt instantly call

[kwal0203]

@robgalbenu He didn't have the nuts

[veteranpater]

Don't you love it when someone hits the 1-outer regardless who it is? lol

[Ridabu]

That was a one outter. DURRR!! THAT WAS A ONE OUTTER (stfu Safai)

[Georgianish]

Lucky bastard

[equivocalx]

Am I the only one who thinks it's dumb for Esfandiari to shove here? At minimum just call durrrr could have a straight here since he plays such a wide range. durrrr is either bluffing or has 6 8 here. I guess Esfandiari beats lower sets and two pair combos. Is it because Esfandiari beats more of durrrr's value raising range here? Guess it's easier since we see the cards but as aggressive as durrrr is this either seems like a top nut or bluff polarized raise spot.

[asianmonk]

@equivocalx I was thinking this too but by the way the hand played out antonio's set is obviously hugely underrepped and dwan can be valueraising thin in this spot as well as have other sets although it's less likely given the action (his perceived range). However, given durrr checked the turn to induce he is going to do that with sets/2ps as well. I would say it is fine he will often get a fold other times will stack 2p/lower sets and rarely does dwan is at the very top of his range like here.

[jismjacket]

what season + episode of Poker After Dark is this??

[flip92]

lmao one second antonio is ribbing Dwan about his sex life, next minute antonio's chips are infront of durrr

[adolfolicious]

3 minutes after ribbing Durr about his sex life, Antonio's chips were in front of Durr.

I wonder if Antonio was more inclined to put Durr on a bluff just based upon the preflop banter.

[StevieSparkZ]

@adolfolicious

Exactly what I was thinking. haahahahahahahha antonio

[chei1]

What do they say at the beginning? :)

[IGhOztZI]

@chei1 when they say "come clean what is it?" there asking how many girls his had sex with.

[chei1]

@IGhOztZI Aaah ok, lol ty :D

[julesickdrums]

yeah keep needling him he will keep taking your money

[ohmyrage]

antonio screwed up checking the turn

[leetDAWG]

@ohmyrage either way mate, you think durrr was folding queens to any bet on the turn?

[luctec]

@leetDAWG i am not a good player..it is sure...but i don t understand why antonio doesn t bet on the turn!!

bohhh.

[leetDAWG]

@luctec he wanted to check raise on the turn, but whatever way it happened, durr was never going to fold... so it doesnt matter if antonio bet the turn or checked the turn. just a sick beat

[eagleclaww]

antonio iran fuck who wears leather jacket and head full of hair products like all iran and pakks..

[Ripptyde64]

@eagleclaww  lmao

[vegasnutzz]

@eagleclaww

you're a moron. AE is wicked smart and seems really cool. I railed him for awhile at the wsop and he was really friendly.

[spence801]

its funny how bob safai needed durr to know that it was a 1 outer and durr goes "those happen"

[dummybummyful]

Going all in was flat out stupid in that situation. If he folds, you probably had the better hand. If he calls, he probably has the better hand. Really stupid.

[mindzeye123123]

@dummybummyful durrrr could do what he did with a worse set, two pair, or complete air, never just flat calling him with a set, that would just be stupid. This isn't 10NL where everyone's just a nit that nut peddles.

[coreycunninghamkarl]

@dummybummyful He has a set, going all in is the right play, he might call with AQ, 97, Q9

[disciple90633]

not trying to act like a know it all here but this is a very bad play to shove on the river. The ONLY hands Drrrr might call with here that A.E. can beat are 22 and 55. Anything else and Drrrr folds so there is not profit there. Also Drrrr is the kinda guy who will play 68 and he's never gonna call in this spot w/ a hand like AQ so to me the shove isn't that profitable but of course that is always easy to say in hindsight.

[NoSleepTv101]

@disciple90633 true but just overall the shove on river was bad. He even took the time to debate so i believe is either just a spot to call or fold, but mostly call

[Noogaiii]

@disciple90633  totaally right there man..

[tranquility321]

Esfandiari is a good player and I've seen him run over weaker opponents for fun, but any time I've watched him playing the best players he looks so scared. Especially with hands against Dwan, even here he looks so scared against Durrrr. :)

[cho4d]

I love how classy Dwan and Esfandiari are in this hand. Seriously great ambassadors for poker.

[pancrolax]

sick hand
