Kyle Cartwright opened to 6,000 from early position and John Esposito called to his left. Joe Hachem then moved all in and the action folded back around to Cartwright. He also moved all in, leaving the decision on Esposito.
After taking some time, Esposito said "let's gamble" as he tossed in the call.
Joe Hachem: A♠K♣4♣3♠
Kyle Cartwright: A♣K♥7♥2♣
John Esposito: A♦8♦5♠2♥
All three players caught a piece of the 7♣J♥2♦Q♦4♥ runout, with Hachem (nut low) and Cartwright staying alive (two pair, no low). Esposito's gamble left him chopping the side pot with his ace-five low.
