Espinar Gets the Double
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jason Li raised to 80,000 in early position and it folded around to Elvenjohn Espinar who three-bet to 380,000, leaving himself with 40,000 behind. Li then reraised to put Espinar all in, who went into the tank looking for a pay jump. The clock was eventually called and Espinar made the call for his remaining stack.
Elvenjohn Espinar: 8♥8♠ 
Jason Li: A♦Q♠
Espinar won the flip with his pair of eights as the board ran out 5♣10♣6♦4♦6♠.
"Sorry guys," said Espinar as he dragged in the pot. The other players at the table were understanding of the situation.
