Poker champ Antonio Esfandiari has aced a 6,000 square foot, 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom new construction in Venice, Calif. raising a hand of just under $5.4 million for the purchase.
Esfandiari, 41, an Iranian-born, Silicon Valley-bred former magician, has conjured a sleek and contemporary white stucco home. With a light wood garage and front doors, limestone stacked accent wall and chic metallic balcony, along with a small manicured front lawn, the property has masses of curb appeal in a once bohemian neighborhood which has taken a significant turn for the upscale in recent years.
Inside, the home is a soothing palette of light wood floors, large black framed windows, darker accent pieces, white walls and contemporary furnishings. Case in point is the sitting room, anchored by an angular fireplace in a black marble surround, and set into a modern wood paneled accent wall. White sofas sit either side of a dark wood coffee table on a chenille-type rug.
The airy downstairs hallway is clad with large matte white paneling and contemporary art which encases a glass fronted wine storage area. An adjacent screening room is a sumptuous affair with a couple of blue/black sofas surrounded by charcoal walls and lighter earth-toned carpeting.
Described as “hotel-like,” per listing information, the property includes a powder room with a beguiling mix of a protruding black tiled back wall, dark marble counter, light wood cabinets and flooring with brass finishes. An vaguely Japanese-style wood paneled, open plan dining room continues the color theme with a funky metallic multi-bulb light fixture adding a hit of glitz.

The kitchen — which features panel ready appliances and double islands with black marble counters — lies at the home’s rear. It opens to a second, glass tabled dining area and lounge, with a large sectional sofa facing a stone wall and sleek rectangular fireplace. A wall-sized sliding glass door leads to the back garden that houses a patio, pool and lawn. A small pool house has a changing area and stretch/yoga room and built-in fireplace.
Upstairs, via a floating staircase, an expansive master bedroom features another angular fireplace and stone wall combo. A patio and balcony make for a relaxing morning coffee in bathrobes. The adjoining master bathroom is truly where the residence gets its luxe hotel stripes — a floor to ceiling slab of marble surrounds a glass fronted shower. Dark, slate-like bathroom tiles, a soaking tub and exterior balcony completes the resort-like ensemble.
Esfandiari is married to Amal Bounahra, also a poker player. Professional high-stakes gambling has clearly been a profitable endeavor for Esfandiari family, who have amassed a net worth of $27 million, substantially bolstered by Antonio’s single tournament take of over $18 million in 2012.
The couple also still own another their “starter” Venice house, purchased for $3.4 million in 2017.
© Realtor.com; Wiki CommonsAntonio Esfandiari lost a ton of cash to Phil Hellmuth recently in three heads-up poker matches. But the Iranian poker pro still had plenty of money to buy himself a brand new mansion in the Los Angeles area.
The former magician has always lived a lavish lifestyle ever since becoming a professional poker player in the early parts of this century. He’s cashed for over $27 million in live tournaments, most notably the $18.3 million score for winning the 2012 WSOP $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop, and has won millions more playing in juicy high stakes cash games.
So, he could certainly afford losing $350,000 to his friendly rival, Hellmuth, over the course of three matches, all of which he lost. The poker player is now spending more money, but this time on assets instead of gambling losses.
Esfandiari is living the high-life
It’s good to be Antonio Esfandiari. He’s been living in a seven-figure high-rise condo overlooking the Las Vegas Strip for years. We even recently reported on that condo at Panorama Towers being robbed of over $1 million in cash, casino chips, and jewelry.
The family man is now taking his family, wife (Amal Bounahra) and kids, a bit west to Southern California. More specifically, the Venice beach area of Los Angeles, a hot tourist beach community with stunning views of the ocean. Esfandiari recently purchased a mansion in Venice for around $5.3 million.
This isn’t the Esfandiaris’ first home in Venice. They still own a “starter” property in the beach community valued at around $3.4 million. But they’re moving on up even further, this time a 6,000 square foot home with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The property is brand-new and construction recently completed.
Esfandiari will soon move his family into the sleek and contemporary white stucco home. He’ll have plenty of room to host home games with his wealthy amateur poker friends. According to Variety, the home is a “soothing palette of light wood floors, large black framed windows, darker accent pieces, white walls and contemporary furnishings.”

The property is described as “hotel-like,” per listing information. Esfandiari will have a roomy kitchen, which includes double islands with marble panels. The poker pro’s new pad is described as having a resort feel, which isn’t a new concept to Esfandiari, whose luxurious Las Vegas condo is located near many of the biggest casino resorts in the world.
Antonio Esfandiari no longer plays poker full-time, so he’ll have plenty of time to spend relaxing in his new Southern California pad. He said during the High Stakes Duel match against Hellmuth that he doesn’t enjoy the game as much as he did years ago because the high rollers of today are boring.
