Scott Epstein Busts on the Bubble Again
Oct 29, '09
 Scott Epstein was all in with A-K against the pocket aces of Kathy Liebert and the board ran out A-10-5-K-6. Esptein was crippled after the hand, holding a single 1,000-chip in his stack. He managed to double up once to grow his stack to 7,000 thanks to the blinds and antes, but his tournament run was about to come to an end.
On his final hand, Epstein held K 4 against the pocket kings of Luke Vrabel. The board ran out J-6-4-7-K and Epstein busted on the money bubble for the second year in a row at this event!
Play was paused after the elimination for the players to draw new seats at the final two tables. There are a lot of very short stacks left thanks to the extremely tight play that just transpired, so the bust outs will fly now that the bubble has burst.
