Esposito Loses With Kings to Aces

After some preflop action we picked this one up on the flop. The board read {Q-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} and Cory Tymich checked to Lou Esposito. Esposito bet 1,100 and Tymich called. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Tymich checked to Lou again.

Esposito bet 2,100 and Tymich called. The river was the {5-Spades} and Tymich checked a third time to Lou. Esposito thought for a little while and then made a bet of 3,300. Tymich called after mumbling something about Esposito maybe having him beat.

Esposito rolled over {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and then Tymich got excited and tabled {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}.

Esposito is down to 23,000 after the hand. Esposito and Tymich have been going back and forth talking about the hand and just the play at the table so far. Esposito doesn't seem too amused, but did mention that he would love a guy to check-call him the entire way with aces when he holds kings.
