Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

John Esposito and Josh Arieh were in a pot that saw multiple bets being collected by the dealer as preflop action was finishing. Arieh was in the hijack and checked a flop of {6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to Esposito, who was on the button and bet. Arieh put in a check-raise and Esposito made it three bets. Arieh called.

Arieh proceeded to check-call another bet from Esposito on the {7-Diamonds} turn before check-folding to a bet on the {2-Clubs} river.

"Yippee!" Esposito said as he raked in the pot. "Uncle Johnny! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch!" he chanted.

On the following hand, Esposito opened the cutoff and Arieh defended. Arieh check-folded to a continuation-bet on the flop and Esposito continued with the chant: "Uncle Johnny! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch!"
