Level 18
Mark Epstein
Mark Epstein

Pot-Limit Omaha

Mark Epstein was automatically all in from the big blind. It folded to Blaz Zerjav in the small blind, who did not even have to call to put his opponent at risk.

Mark Epstein: KQ43 All in
Blaz Zerjav: 8864

Zerjav's eights remained best on the AJ495 runout, sending Epstein to the rail in 73rd place.

The remaining 72 players were left one elimination away from the money, and the start of hand-for-hand play was announced immediately after Epstein's elimination.
