Zinno Doubles Up Epstein
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading 7♠5♦2♦ and players heads up. Alex Epstein bet 8,000 from the big blind and Anthony Zinno raised it to 35,000 from the button. Epstein moved all in for approximately 70,000 total and Zinno made the call to put Epstein at risk.
Alex Epstein: K♠7♣
Anthony Zinno: J♦7♦
Both players had top pair. Epstein had the better kicker but Zinno had a jack-high flush draw to give him several outs to pull ahead. Those outs never materialized when the rest of the board ran out 9♠3♠ and Epstein secured a full double up while Zinno was left somewhat short-stacked.
