Eliminations and Entries

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante

Chen Eliminated by Epstein After Momentary Confusion

Level 10 : 0/0, 1,500 ante

On a {8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop Alex Epstein checked to James Chen who bet 5,000. Epstein check-raised to 20,000 and Chen re-raised all in for around 35,000. Epstein called.

James Chen: {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Alex Epstein: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river {9-Clubs} gave Chen two pair. Epstein let out a frustrated noise and the pot was awarded to Chen. However, before the next hand the players at the table realised that Epstein had in fact rivered a straight, with his ace doubling as the bottom end of a nine-high straight.

The floor was called and the pot was awarded in Epstein's favour sending Chen to the rail.
