Valkenburg and Epskamp Baffled By Kings
Yori Epskamp raised from middle position and Andrei Vlassenko called from his immediate left. The action was folded to Unibet Ambassador Paul Valkenburg who moved all in for 21,000 chips. Epskamp moved all in as well for just slightly more and Vlassenko went into the tank. The Russian player asked for a count and took about a minute before pulling the trigger.
Epskamp: :::6x :::6x
Valkenburg: :::Ax :::Qx
Vlassenko: :::Kx :::Kx
The board ran out :::Th :::Qs :::8d :::5h :::Tc and both Epskamp and Valkenburg were knocked out. Vlassenko is sitting on 90,000 and he’s among today’s biggest stacks.
