Esposito thought awhile and flicked in a calling chip. Cates announced a straight and showed 
but Esposito had it beat with 
for sevens full. After the hand, Esposito said he had check-raised earlier in the hand and bet the remaining streets, only for Cates to pop him on the river.
"What were you thinking?" someone asked Cates.
"I was thinking there was an ace dead and he probably didn't have a full house," Cates responded.
