Epstein Gets Sized Up

Amanda Sizemore - not just a pretty face!
Amanda Sizemore - not just a pretty face!

Jonathan "The Man" Epstein is down to less than 130,000 after losing a considerable amount of his stack to Amanda Sizemore in one of the few hands we've seen since play resumed.

From under the gun, Epstein raised to 18,000 and the action folded around to Sizemore in the big blind who called before both players checked the flop of {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

On the turn of the {2-Diamonds}, Sizemore led out for 22,000 and Epstein called before Sizemore led out again on the river of the {3-Spades}. Epstein grimaced, licked his lips and tilted his head before starting what could only be a rare conversation with his opponent.

"That looks like a good bluff," Epstein muttered.

"Call it then," was the abrupt reply from Sizemore.

Epstein cocked his head from side to side anxiously, as if he could feel the hundreds of eyes burning into the back of his neck. "I don't know what I can be here."

After about two minutes, Karina Jett called time. The clock was placed in front of him, but with 15 seconds remaining, Epstein reluctantly kicked his hand into the muck and Sizemore shot him a dazzling smile and flashed the {J-Hearts} before raking in the pot.

Sizemore is up to more than 260,000 in chips.
