Espo Going the Wrong Way

Co-leader Lou Esposito has started the day in his aggressive mode, and his chipstack has been suffering as a result. Two pots in a row, he came in raising to 3,100 and folded to a big re-raise each time.

In the latest pot, he again came in for 3,100, but this time the big blind, Soren Eriksen, flat called, and the two players saw a flop of {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Eriksen checked, and Esposito fired a continuation bet of 4,600.

Eriksen grabbed hold of his whole stack, and slid it forward, check-raising to 21,900 and all in. Esposito went into the tank for almost five minutes, before finally relinquishing his hand, and sending more than 7,000 chips to the other end of the table.
