Fishman Triples as Esposito Hits the Exit

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ray Fishman opened to 85,000 from under the gun. John Esposito made the call before Nate Silver shoved for 460,000 from the cutoff. Fishman went all-in for 435,000 and Esposito called all-in for 380,000 for a three-handed showdown.

John Esposito: A♠K♠4♦3♦All in
Ray Fishman: A♣Q♠J♦2♠All in
Nate Silver: A♥A♦8♣3♣

The 5♦10♦K♥ flop gave Fishman straight draw outs to work with, while Esposito paired his king and had a flush draw.

The 3♥ introduced the possibility of a low hand, but the river may have shut the door on the possibility of a low hand, but not Fishman's hopes of winning, as it gave Fishman the nuts when the J♥ struck to give Fishman the straight and the pot.

At another table, Jared Koppel busted to bow out of the tournament just ahead of Esposito.
