Esposito Gets One Through
No-Limit Hold'em
After winning the previous pot with a continuation-bet on the flop, Josh Arieh raised again from the cutoff to 50,000. John Esposito went all in for 346,000 from the small blind.
Arieh thought for a bit and eventually asked the dealer to pull 50,000 in from each player in order to see the amount left to call.
"You'll never miss it," Esposito said to Arieh with a slight smile.
"You don't think?" said Arieh.
"Well, two-point-five..." said Esposito as he raised his hand to gesture towards Arieh's stack.
"It could be two-point-nine!" Arieh responded.
"I couldn't think of a better guy to give it to," Esposito said. "Although, it's more fun when I'm here."
Arieh responded, "I enjoy your company," and sent his cards to the muck as Esposito added a significant chunk of chips to his stack.
