Espo Catches a Card
Stephane Albertini raised to 135,000 to open the pot, and John Esposito three-bet all in for 785,000 total. When it came back to Albertini, he wasted no time calling, and his 
was poised for the knockout as the short stack tabled 
.
The 
flop wasn't much help for the at-risk Esposito, but the turn 
opened up a world of outs. He needed to find a four, a three, or any club to stay alive, and the river 
will do just nicely. "Yeah, baby!" Esposito yelled as his rail erupted in celebration. Their guy has doubled up to about 1.75 million, still about a million back of Albertini.
