Epstein Takes the Lead
Level 29
: 100,000/200,000, 0 ante
Matthew Gonzales raised to 400,000 and Alex Epstein three-bet the pot to 1,200,000 from one seat over. Once the action folded back to Gonzales, he spent some time in the think tank and eventually made the call for nearly half of his stack to see the 
flop. Gonzales checked and Epstein bet 450,000 to force a fold from Gonzales, who dropped to seven big blinds.
