This hand was always meant to be a disaster. The only thing that stopped this from being an absolute blood bath is the fact that everyone sitting at the poker table is a seasoned professional. When you’ve spent as much time sitting at the felt as Daniel Negrenau and Antonio Esfandiari you KNOW when you’re beaten.
All three players in the hands have strong pocket pairs to start. Daniel Negrenau has QQ but he should’ve known he was beaten based on the action. Antonio Esfandiari found KK staring back at him. And Tom Dwan 4-bet his pocket rockets to get the action rolling.
This was all part of Poker After Dark, a cash game amongst professionals that’s featured on PokerGo. When it was all said and done, Tom Dwan won a $700,000 CASH hand in a clash that would cause any normal poker player to completely unravel. (h/t Poker News)
