Jepsen-d Off

Yet another table has broken, bringing the last few stragglers upstairs to join the fold of the last five groups of nine. The move has proven disastrous for Peter Jepsen, who'd been nursing a fairly short stack fairly consistently for several levels, but who pretty much instantly found himself in a confrontation for his entire stack.

I caught this hand from the turn, where Jepsen was betting out on a {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} board. There looked to be about the 9k he bet in the pot, and when he bet it he left himself with just 13k behind. Somewhat surprisingly, after a great start to his tournament, opponent Roberto Romanello was also down to 15k after he made the call.

The river was the {9-Hearts} . There followed some mutual staring and a kind of standoff, with Jepsen quietly working on his decision, which ended up being shoving the rest in. Romanello snap called with {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {7-Hearts} , his house nicely in front of Jepsen's: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} .
