Epstein Extracts Value

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river with the board reading Q♠2♣A♥3♥6♥ and about 45,000 in the middle. A player in the big blind checked, and Alex Epstein bet 26,000, putting his opponent to a tough decision.

After about a minute of deliberation, the big blind flicked in a calling chip. Epstein showed A♠Q♥ for top two pair and his opponent quickly mucked.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Scott Hempel raised 1,800 under the gun and only Benjamin Gross made the call in the hijack.

The A♠A♥8♠ flop was quickly checked by both players.

When the 2♠ hit the turn, Hempel tossed in a bet of 2,200 and Gross called.

The J♦ completed the board, and Hempel continued to fire, this time for 2,800. After a short pause, Gross matched the bet. Hempel turned over A♣9♣ for trip aces and that was good as Gross tossed his cards into the muck.

The UK's Tamer Kamel three-bet an open raise of Evangelos Kokkalis from 1,800 to 5,400 and earned a reluctant call by the Greek, which brought them to the A♥5♣3♠ flop. Kokkalis checked to Kamel in the cutoff and a bet worth 2,900 did the trick to win the pot.

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Claudius Ferris opened from middle position and Eric Lozano put out a three-bet to 5,300 from the small blind. Ferris made the call and a flop of 2♦5♣4♥ was spread.

Lozano led all-in for his final 10,300 chips and, after getting a count, Ferris made the call.

Eric Lozano: J♦J♣
Claudius Ferris: 7♥7♣

All seemed well for Lozazno, who held the higher overpair. The A♠ turn did not do anything for either player's hand, but the 7♠ saw Ferris hit his two-outer. Lozano sped out of the Horseshoe Event Center and Ferris was back to almost starting stack,

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Mizrachi opened to 1,700 from the cutoff and was called by Rusty Hagenbuch in the big blind.

Hagenbuch led out for 1,500 on the J♦8♠K♠ flop and Mizrachi raised enough to put Hagenbuch all in for a bit over 10,000. Hagbenbuch called and hands were revealed.

Rusty Hagenbuch: K♦Q♥
Michael Mizrachi: 10♠7♠

Hagenbuch was ahead, but Mizrachi had plenty of outs that came to fruition on the 9♦ turn — giving Mizrachi a straight and leaving Hagenbuch drawing to a ten for a higher straight.

The 2♦ bricked out for Hagenbuch, however, and he was eliminated.

On a completed board of K♠4♥2♥7♠J♣, Ertem Osmanoglu fired a bet of 25,000 into the pot of about 35,000. Baraz Oz was the only opponent in the hand and he jammed all-in for 70,200.

Osmanoglu made the call to see Oz's 4♣4♠ for a set of fours, but it was no good as Osmanoglu tabled 7♣7♦ for a higher set and Oz exited the tournament.

The river came 5♥ and the hand checked to a showdown.

Amit Ekstein: 10♦10♠

Roxanne Johnson

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

James Pisano, who had just arrived at the table, was in the small blind and made a raise of 3,000 and the big blind called. The flop arrived 4♥6♦Q♥ and Pisano continued the aggression with a bet of 2,000 and got the call.

The turn came the 10♣ and Pisano slowed down and checked, the big blind decided to bet 3,500, and Pisano made a quick call.

Both players checked the river 5♠ and the big blind tabled K♣4♣ for a pair of fours and Pisano apologized for not turning his cards over right away and showed 6♥2♥ for a pair of sixes.
