Antonio Esfandiari Is Back

About seven years have passed since the World Poker Tour televised final table where we can witness Antonio Esfandiari’s last appearance. In 2004, Esfandiari took advantage on his last appearance, notching victory as well as $1.3 million at the L.A. Poker Classic. He did it fashionably and left us one of the most memorable moments of the World Poker Tour, holding his Code Titan Poker pocket aces high on the very last hand as he was compose for the victory. Esfandiari then named the youngest player to win a WPT title that time and would set the pro on a path of poker celebrity.

Early Thursday morning, Esfandiari made his second WPT victory at the Doyle Brunson North American Five Diamond Poker Classic, beating outbesting one of the most star-studded final Titan Poker Tournaments tables we’ve seen in a long time. The final six left of the starting 438 players and even though Esfandiari was one of the chip leaders throughout the middle stages of the tournament, but would enter the final table fifth.
