Christian Rudolph raised to 45,000 and John Esposito three-bet to 120,000. Rudolph folded and Esposito raked in the pot. Table neighbor Martin Kabrhel engaged in some table chat with floor staff and inquired about Esposito, who exposed his gold bracelet from 1999 at the Horseshoe.
"Can I have a look?" Kabrhel asked and his request was obliged.
Meanwhile, one table over, Vivian Im raised to 45,000 and Asi Moshe called on the button. On the flop, Im bet 40,000 and Moshe called. The turn saw a check by Im, a bet for 88,000 by Moshe, and a reluctant call by Im.
