However, not long after the action in the finale got started Esfandiari stole the momentum and took the chip lead.<\/p>\n<p>In order to clinch his first-ever WSOP Circuit ring, the Magician only needed to survive a few early scares.<\/p>\n<p>With an imposing 11:1 chip lead, Antonio seemed confident in the early stages of the heads-up match, but after Gold doubled his stack within just a few hands Antonio almost lost his way.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"a-little-magic\"><strong>\u00a0A Little Magic<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Despite Gold\u2019s few good hands in the beginning, Esfandiari kept his composure and sealed the deal with Ac 2h.<\/p>\n<p>The dealer burned and turned an As 5c 2c flop, Esfandiari checked and raised and Gold moved all-in with Ah Kd. Esfandiari made a call and won the match after a 2d on the turn.<\/p>\n<p>After the event Esfandiari said: \u201cI\u2019m a dad now. I love being a dad, and obviously my son is the most important thing in my life. I\u2019m definitely rusty with my tournament poker. There were spots where I really didn\u2019t know what to do.
