Re: HSP: Benyamine vs. Esfandiari
That's about right. I just saw it again this morning:
DB is SB Antonio is BB blinds 3-6 folded to DB who makes it 2300 AE calls flop is AJ9r DB bets 4k AE calls pretty quickly turn is 2 w/ backdoor clubs (no clubs for either) DB bets 18k AE raises to 42k DB reraises to 72k all these were in pretty normal tempo AE tanks for like 3 or 4 minutes and asks DB a couple times how much he has left. DB has 140k more behind and is yapping pretty weirdly the whole time. AE asks him if he has 3 aces...DB says "I swear to got I don't have three aces", then AE says, 3 jacks? and DB says "if you had 3 jacks then put it in there, let's go" or something like that. AE finally reraises to 112k (40k more leaving DB 100k behind) DB says something like "you knew I only had 140". DB thinks for about 20 seconds and just calls. He checks the river dark and AE doesn't fire again on the 8c river (flush and st8 card)

Re: HSP: Benyamine vs. Esfandiari
this hand seemed like esfandiari was trying to make a sick move on tv for everyone to see, and benyamine trying to not get bluffed out of a pot on tv for everyone to see
that being said i think benyamine is folding to a river push, but who knows, the guy loses millions in online NL

Re: HSP: Benyamine vs. Esfandiari
This hand illustrates the differences between live and online play. Online, when you are faced with a situation you can put an opponent on a range of hands based on his bet amounts and betting history and make a decision based almost entirely on that. You can even post hands on forums like this that show nothing at all but how much was bet and be able to make a pretty clear decision on what you would do in the hand. This is not the case at all live. There are so many factors that could never be put into words that come into play that make discussion about a hand after the fact totally pointless. What happened here was David read Antonio for exactly what he had, thus being the reason for the re-min raise. All of the table chatter was 100% strategic and it EARNED David the extra $70k that Antonio put into the pot. The reason for just calling the last raise rather than going all in was only because he knew where Antonio was at and saw 0 value in ending the hand on the turn. I am very confident that David was calling any river regardless of what it was, even an ace. As for Antonio, he really got lost in the hand. You could tell that David really got into his head and Antonio was convinced he was getting re-bluffed and decided to take a line that made absolutely no sense in hopes that David would just throw it away. Say what you will about David's NL game, but he is a fantastic poker player and played this hand to absolute perfection.
