If you limp with aces… prepare to fold them!

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Antonio plays his Aces tricky pre-flop, but plays them very well after the flop. He COULD have played them differently and maybe won a small pot -- but this was by far the second best alternative, I'm sure. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkERKHLRS0s[/youtube] Good laydown, Antonio!

What else can I say than "Antonio is the daddy". He is. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pbj5Dp2I8A[/youtube]

Esfandiari teaches us a chip trick!

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Antionio is a chip trick wonder -- we all know that. Now, the guy is also a great sport. We know that too. Combine both, and the nice guy gives us all a 100% free poker chip trick lesson! :D This one looks quite difficult and painful, so let me know ...

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

This video shows Antonio in HIS moment of glory, his biggest WPT win, and probably his most glorious poker win ever. I love watching this video over and over again. Antonio is THE man! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmp4gZEcM4M[/youtube] GREAT!

Esfandiari Makes Great Call, Takes Painful Beat

Friday, February 29th, 2008

An excellent call by our main man Antonio against a big bet by Daniel Negreanu, and he receives the kind of beating you don't want to see happen against the guy making the right call. I don't like Daniel's table talk on this hand, but hey, it worked out for him ...

Antonio Esfandiari vs. Ben Grundy — superstar bluff!

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

Antonio is the f**** daddy. He smelled weakness from Ben Grundy in this hand from the William Hill Poker Grand Prix Season 2 Finals, and was he ever spot on. After getting re-raised with his open-ender, he moves all-in against Grundy who actually had the best hand with his ace ...

Antonio really is “The Magician”

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Antonio showing off his magic tricks at the PCA in the Bahamas. These guys are lucky to find Mr. Esfandiari in the lobby, and he spoils them with an excellent card trick... It's good to see celebrity poker stars taking time to connect with the fans -- and The Magician probably ...

Antonio vs. Phil: The Ice Cream Edition

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

This one is hilarious. Why? Because Phil Laak is so the poker player he is in real life. I mean this is awesome stuff. :D As we all know this is for tv, and this has nothing to do with the $500 they're putting up -- but it's GOOD tv, so ...

Daniel Negreanu feeling the Magicians sense of humor

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

A classic from High Stakes Poker between Kid Poker Daniel Negreanu and The Magician and my main main mr. Antonio Esfandiari. Thing is, this would have been so much more funny without Daniel faking for so long.... No way it took him that long to get it, but I guess it's ...

Antonio “The Magician” vs. Phil “The Unabomber”

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

I don't fully understand why the people over at GSN decided to let Antonio talk about this particular hand between him and Phil Laak on their website -- but I guess it's probably because my man Antionio likes to talk about beating the Unabomber out of a pot. :D Daniel Negreanu ...
