Episcopo Enjoys the Flop
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
Jonathan Mason opened to 1,500 from early position and then was three-bet to 4,100 by Zachary Carroll from middle position. The action then folded around to Michael Episcopo in the big blind who then announced he was all in for 26,400.
Mason then shoved for 20,000 on top and Carroll was forced to fold his hand while the other two tabled their cards.
Michael Episcopo: Q♦Q♥
Jonathan Mason: A♦K♣
Episcopo was ahead going into this flip with his pocket queens, but the flop made him feel a whole lot better when it came out Q♠9♥7♠ to give him top set.
The runout of 5♦A♣ did not improve Mason enough to win and Episcopo was pushed the large pot for a double-up.
