Antonio Esfandiari first impressed me with his play at the Lucky Chances World Poker Tour event in 2002 where he finished third. I have stated many times how I get a kick out of someone getting the best of Phil Hellmuth and Antonio did the job at this event. He continually took the initiative and made Phil react to him. I was disappointed he only finished third because he was the star of the show
