Third Time is Not the Charm for Epstein

Level 12 : Blinds 0/0, 2,500 ante
Alex Epstein
Alex 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: J9
Jon Kyte: K6

The board ran out Q9QAQ 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 AQ.

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: AK
Johan Schultz-Pedersen: KK
Pier Angelo Perazzi: AK

The board ran out 8Q1099. Schultz-Pedersen scooped the pot and eliminated Epstein.
