Epstein Sticking Around
Livello 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
On fifth street, we walked up just in time to see Scott Epstein betting, Stephen Su folding, and Mikhail Smirnov calling to go forward heads-up.
Epstein: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Smirnov: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Epstein checked on sixth street, and Smirnov made the bet. Epstein called there, and he put out the last bet himself on the river. It was only 6,000 chips though, Epstein betting all in. Smirnov didn't like it, but he made the crying call. Epstein turned over 
for the eight-low, and it's earned him a life-saving pot, pushing him right back up to 100,000.
