Esfandiari Can't Handle Kristoffersen's "Serious" Bet

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Oystein Kristoffersen raised to 700 from middle position and was called by Antonio Esfandiari in the big blind.

Esfandiari check-called a 2,000 bet from Kristoffersen on the A♠10♣Q♠ flop and Esfandiari checked again on the 4♥ turn.

Kristoffersen announced a bet of 9,000, which gave Esfandiari a bit of a shock.

"Nine thousand!? That's a pretty serious bet..." Esfandiari mused.

"Easy money," Esfandiari said as he sent his cards into the muck.
