Engel Makes Tough Call to Bust Opponent

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 800 and Ari Engel three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. The cutoff made the call.

The flop came 8J10, Engel continued for 3,200 and the cutoff called, bringing the 10 turn. Engel slowed down with a check and the cutoff bet 5,900. Engel called.

On the 8 river, Engel checked again, and the cutoff moved all in. Engel asked for a count and the dealer confirmed a bet of 31,400.

Engel, who had about 34,000 behind, was clearly faced with a tough decision and went into the tank.

"I was not expecting to be in this spot," said Engel before eventually making the call and tabling Q8 for a full house. The cutoff turned over QJ for two pair, and was eliminated from the tournament.
