so just as i predicted- antonio esfandiari failed to win the event- at one moment he had a decent chip lead over rest of the pack, but as the majority of times he has failed to keep the lead. if we take away the one famous win he had it seems that esfandiari has a problem with finishing the tourneys, still he makes it itm most of the times, so thats good for his roll
