"Tayrita1" raised to 12,000 from the hijack and then folded after Jonathan "SugarJ" Lessin three-bet to 36,000 from the button while Lena "helixpoker" Evans was all in for 9,498 from the big blind.
Lena "helixpoker" Evans:
Jonathan "SugarJ" Lessin:
Evans was ahead with her made hand until the flop appeared pairing Lessin's jack.
The turn was no help to Evans as she needed to spike a five but the river came the ending her tournament in 95th [lace for $680.40.
We missed the hand play out, but learned after the fact that Al "BigAl16" Riccobono, who is playing from New Jersey, managed to triple holding against two players who each held . The ladies held and just like that Riccobono is flirting with a top-ten stack.
Riccoboni a longtime grinder with results dating back to 2006. His biggest score of $45,422 came back in 2007 when he finished 267th in the WSOP Main Event.
He's still looking for a big breakout win, and right now just 61 players stand between him and a gold bracelet. No matter where he finishes, he's guaranteed at least $939.60 in prize money.

The flop gave Epstein the lead and the turn meant all he needed to do to double was dodge an ace on the river. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the spiked on the river to send Epstein out in 24th place for $1,814.40.
