With eight players left in the running for the Big One for One Drop this is going to be one hell of a final table. Our very own poker ambassador Mike Sexton finished in 9th after going up against Antonio Esfandiari.
The Action
With the flop showing 
both players checked, the turn shows 
with Esfandiari then betting 1,150,000 at this point Mike decided to go all in. Now this is when it get’s kind of interesting as it turns out there was a little bit of confusion with the dealer who initially thought that Esfandiari had folded. However after calling the floor the situation was resolved Antonio Esfandiari showed 
giving him two pair and Mike showed 
[10d] and with the river showing
