Isle Open Event 7 (Flight 1A): Pearlman Triples Up, Hears About It Afterwards

2017 Isle Open | Event #7
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $200,000 GTD
Level 10 (Blinds 500/1,000/100)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 131


Daniel Pearlman (Hollywood, FL) tripled-up at the expense of both Jeff Fogel and Michael Amato, but not without some needling from others at the table (all in a joking manner).

Table 6 was approached after a hand had concluded between Daniel Pearlman, Michael Amato, and Jeff Fogel.  The board of JQ♣ 4♠ 2♠ 5♣ would still be out, along with the three player's hands, as Pearlman held the winner (J♣ 10♣).  Amatio's A K and Fogel's K♣ 9♣ were still face up, as the dealer worked out a side pot, but the action leading up to that point was unknown.

That was until Vincent Aloi threw a playful dig the way of Amato, reassuring that Michael knew he lost the hand.  "I tried to get them to fold," Amato said to Aloi, as the details of the hand began to unfold.  Jeffrey Fogel opened the pot for 3,500 from the cutoff, with Pearlman calling on the button, and Amato shoving out of the small blind.  Fogel made the call (having Amato covered), as did Pearlman, who happened to be the shortest of the three stacks (just over 14,000).  

Daniel ended up flopping the best of it, and managed to fade his opponents outs, ending up with close to 50,000 at the hand's conclusion.

Daniel Pearlman - 48,000
Jeff Fogel - 34,000
Michael Amato - 4,800
