Ernstein Unraises, Pound Scores a Knockout

Robert Pound and Andy Ernstein were in a pot where five players saw the flop, and the preflop raiser was eliminated by Pound, who is now sitting at almost 50,000.

The knocked-out player opened to 375 under the gun and got four callers.

The flop came and two players checked to the preflop raiser. He bet 1,300 and Pound called before Ernstein raised to 5,300.

The action fell back to the preflop raiser and he took a few moments to figure out his next move. He asked to see how many more chips Ernstein had and then seemed to be debating between a call or a raise as he took one chip in his hand, then pulled it back to his stack and throwing in a raise. He made it 16,300, putting himself almost all in with only about 18,000 total.

Pound didn't hesitate to reraise all in for his last 22,000 and the action was back on Ernstein.

Ernstein looked at the two players, then back to the board.

"Unraise," he said with a smile to the dealer and mucked his cards, letting the two remaining players sort it out between themselves.

Pound's opponent called and Pound showed , for trips. He was ahead of the of his opponent. The board kept Pound in the lead, as it ran out and Pound earned the knockout.
