All of us need a break from our day jobs once in a while, whether it is to just relax at home or fly off to some far away destination to take in some much needed relaxation.

Doyle Brunson opted for some R&R in Montana and Liv Boeree had a more active holiday trekking through the Death Valley National Park whilst others simply visited friends and family. Antonio Esfandiari though seems to have topped them all after spending time away from the real world at the Burning Man.

He showed through Twitter the huge amount of anticipation he had for this event, whilst also displaying some of the outfits he was going to be wearing.

Back, probably extremely refreshed and no doubt looking forward to getting back to the felt, Esfandiari now returns to his normal life style. Will the break have any effect on his success at the tables? Only time will tell!
