Apparently the two kids playing Esfandiari tried to make a side deal for a chop between the two of them. The idea being thrown around is that it would allow one of them to bust to the other in an attempt to take on Antonio, who at the time had 75% of the chips in play. The tourn director then pulled them aside and said that they could not make a deal and on the very next hand Esfandiari got it in preflop with 9s vs 7s for a pot that held 90% of the chips only to see a 7 hit the flop and lose.
And roughly 10 minutes later Antonio is out. He handled the situation a lot better than I think I would have.
