Hand #61 - John Esposito Eliminated in 4th Place ($156,020)

Hand #61 - Dustin Dirksen has the button in seat 5, Esposito raises from the cutoff to 200,000, and Young calls from the small blind. The flop comes {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Young bets, Esposito moves all in, and Young immediately calls with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Esposito shows {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The last two cards are {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Young's pocket aces hold up to win the pot.

John Esposito is eliminated in fourth place, earning $156,020. The next player eliminated will receive $239,230 for third place.
