Epparla Holding On
Level 25
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Ramana Epparla was all in for 19,000 from the big blind, and the table folded all the way around to Ari Engel's small blind. He called to put Epparla at risk, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Engel:
Epparla:
Epparla fell into a deep hole as the flop paired Engel, putting the amateur two cards from the exit. Much to his delight, however, the turn brought him back into the lead with one to come, and the river secured his much-needed double up.
Mark Epparla down for 70,000 now, still very much in the danger zone.
