Eisen More Than Doubles; Dan Dusted Off

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Erik Eisen
Erik Eisen

Erik Eisen jammed for 505,000 on the button, and Jeremy Dan called for his stack of 420,000 from the small blind. Xiaoyao Ma went into the tank, during which Dan began blasting the theme tune to a highly popular sitcom at full volume. After a lengthy decision, Ma was eventually persuaded to come along as well, and the players tabled their cards.

Erik Eisen: A5 All in
Jeremy Dan: A7 All in
Xiaoyao Ma: 87

Dan was already calling for a payout despite holding the best hand, with both opponents dominated.

The 2A6 flop kept Dan ahead while leaving Ma needing running cards to score the double knockout.

The 3 turn left Ma drawing dead, but Eisen picked up a straight draw.

The 4 on the river completed Eisen's wheel in brutal fashion. Eisen virtually tripled up, while Dan was left staring at the board in disbelief before making his way to the payout desk in 19th place.

On the 5 turn, Elul fired again, this time 250,000 in chips. Boulton again deliberately considered his options. This time he folded.

Bruno Lopes: QQ All in
Patros Behnam: AK

Behnam pulled ahead on the 3K4 flop, pairing his king. The 10 turn and 6 river offered no help to Lopes, and he was sent to the rail.
