Esposito Gets An Unexpected Double

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the board reading {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, it was Lars Johansson who had 26.600 in front of him. Brian Esposito shoved for 71,200, sending Johansson in some deep thought. After three minutes, he slid in a stack of T-5,000 chips to call.

Brian Esposito: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Lars Johansson: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}

Esposito was caught with a mere ace-high. However, much to his surprise, his hand was best as Johansson needed to hit to improve. The river bricked with the {4-Hearts} and Esposito raked in the substantial pot with a stoic look on his face.
