ESQUIVEL DOWN

Not the best of starts for Michael Esquivel in today's Day 1C @HPTpoker Season Championship.

Esquivel - runner-up at HPT St Charles earlier this year - has seen most of his stack go away here late in Level 3. He moves all in and draws no callers, but with the blinds at 100/200 he didn't add a lot to his stack.

Now all in UTG for 1,600, Esquivel gets a call from Larry Ormson (I'll chip you up, Mike) and Edgar Kelley.

   goes the flop, a 2k bet from Ormson and a call to create a 4k sidepot.

Both players check the  turn, but Kelley bets 5,100 on the  and after a, "Well, I guess you'll have to show me your boat," speech from Ormson, he folded and up went the remaining cards.

  for Esquivel for top pair
  for Kelley for a straight and the win, eliminating Esquivel.

Level - 3
BB Ante - 0
Blinds - 100/200
