This was Antonio Esfandiari's tournament to lose ... and, unfortunately, he did. Esfandiari (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 190th) had 75% of the chips at one point during three-handed play but a few double-ups from his two opponents sent The Magician packing much earlier than most had anticipated.
Give Craig McCorkell (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 43rd) his due. He hung in there and pounced at the right moment - and now, it's a first WSOP bracelet for the UK native.
2011 bracelet winner Athanasios Polychronopoulos (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-413th) was near the top of the leaderboard for most of this tournament, he finished fifth.
Alessandro Longobardi (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 82nd), Mickey Petersen (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 23rd) and Justin Bonomo (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 31st) all made moves up the QuadJacks Player of the Year Leaderboard.
Jonathan Lane, Roberto Romanello, Thiago Nishijima, Joe Tehan, Justin Conley, Nicolas Levi, James Akenhead, Robert Georato and Mikhail Glushankov were other notables in the Top 18.
