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.
