Behnam Esfahanizadeh Cracks Bradley Smith's Aces
May 14, 2024
Following an early position raise to 800, Bradley Smith three-bets to 2,400 from the hijack. Behnam Esfahanizadeh cold-calls from the button and the original raiser folds.
On the 
flop, Smith continues for 2,500 and gets called by Esfahanizadeh to see the 
on the turn.
Smith now checks and then calls a bet of 3,500 from Esfahanizadeh.
The river brings the 
and after another check from Smith, Esfahanizadeh checks back, surprising Smith after he sees his opponent’s hand.
Esfahanizadeh shows 
for rivered trip kings, leaving Smith shaking his head as he sends his 
to the muck.
“It was suited. Suited cards,” says Esfahanizadeh as he stacks his newfound chips.
He then makes a head-shaking motion as he says “Offsuit.”
Regardless, Smith appears frustrated as he is now under half a starting stack.
Behnam Esfahanizadeh – 66,000 (165 bb)
Bradley Smith – 19,000 (47 bb)
