Esposito Moving Up

Lou Esposito snuck into a pot from the cutoff with {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and reaped big rewards. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and it was checked around between Esposito, the small blind and an early-position player, and when the {2-Spades} fell on the turn he had a made straight and was reraised by the small blind (who held {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}) to boot.

The {10-Diamonds} river made things worse for Esposito's foe. Story conclusion: Esposito is on the move, early.
