Third Time is Not the Charm for Epstein
Alex Epstein found himself all-in in three consecutive hands.
Hand One:
Epstein jammed from middle position for 33,000 finding a caller in Jon Kyte on the button.
Alex Epstein: J?9?
Jon Kyte: K?6?
The board ran out Q?9?Q?A?Q? and Epstein secured his first double-up.
Hand Two:
The very next hand Epstein shoved all in from early position and failed to find a caller, though he still won the dead money in the middle.
"I had it this time" he announced as he tabled A?Q?.
Hand Three:
Epstein was now under the gun and attempted to move all in. Unfortunately, he did so in two motions and it was considered just a raise to 42,500 by the floor. Johan Schultz-Pedersen was next to act and moved all in for 149,500, as did
Pier Angelo Perazzi on the button. Epstein called off for his tournament life.
Alex Epstein: A?K?
Johan Schultz-Pedersen: K?K?
Pier Angelo Perazzi: A?K?
The board ran out 8?Q?10?9?9?. Schultz-Pedersen scooped the pot and eliminated Epstein.
