Antonio Esfandiari is one of the most recognizable and popular poker players in the world. The future Hall-of-Famer is not only an excellent poker player but also a natural for televised poker, due to his outgoing personality and fantastic sense of humor. Esfandiari’s poker talents and table talk will be on display this Friday night as “The Magician” is part of the announced lineup for Hustler Casino Live.
The three-time WSOP bracelet winner has been a regular on the popular televised poker series “Poker After Dark” since its inception in 2007. Esfandiari was most recently on the show in 2020. He was also the first player to take on Phil Hellmuth in PokerGO’s High Stakes Duel last year. It’s safe to assume he’ll take some heat at the table on Friday night for losing all three of his heads-up matches to Hellmuth.
Friday night’s game will start at 5pm PST. The no-limit hold’em action will start at $50/$100, but don’t be surprised if Esfandiari attempts to bump up the action with some straddles and side bets.
Hustler Casino Live off to a strong start
Hustler Casino Live officially debuted on August 3. Early reviews on Twitter and in the YouTube comment section have been overwhelmingly positive. One consistent compliment that keeps coming up is how good the production value is.
