Pupillo Busts Dunbar, Has Heaps

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

After a flop of {4-}{5-}{6-}, Mark Dunbar got what looked to be his last 60,000 or so in against Nick Pupillo. Dunbar had {3-}{3-} for an open-ender and a pair, but Pupillo had him crushed with {7-}{6-}, a better hand and a better draw. None of Dunbar's outs emerged, and Pupillo added to an already-monstrous stack.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Schneider Doubles Up

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Gennady Shimelfarb opened in the cutoff and got three-bet by Mike Schneider to about 8,000. The small blind then shoved all in, and Shimelfarb folded. Schneider thought for a bit and then called off his stack of 24,900. His opponent showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

"That's good news," Schneider said, turning over {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Schneider won the race when he flopped a jack.

Perfect Flop for Hodge

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We found Mark Hodge getting his chips counted down by the dealer, as he was owed a double up by a player across the table. The board had run out {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and Hodge had {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped straight. His opponent had flopped top two with {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and he shipped Hodge 34,900.

Dahlin Calls Off, Cripples Marsh

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Adam Dahlin
Adam Dahlin

Ben Marsh pushed all in on the turn on a board of {2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} after Gerald Heckathorn checked from the blinds, and Adam Dahlin called off his stack. Heckathorn folded.

"You have a set?" Marsh asked.

Dahlin instead showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, but that was enough to lead Marsh's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The river was the {q-Spades}, and Dahlin had 18,100. Marsh had him barely covered, and he needs help in a hurry as he's down to about one big blind.

Lance Harris didn't find much success after the early levels.
Lance Harris didn't find much success after the early levels.

We came upon Lance Harris calling an all-in shove for the remainder of his chips on a {6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board in a battle of the blinds. The big blind turned over {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and Harris showed a hand with a {6-} in it, though we didn't catch the other card.

Buckley Busted

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
DJ Buckley
DJ Buckley

DJ Buckley got the last 8,800 or so in with {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} against the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} of Mark Dunbar.

"I'm gonna flop three sixes," Buckley declared, but he didn't look like he believed it as he got out of his seat and grabbed his coat.

Instead, it was Dunbar flopping three of a kind as {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} hit. The {9-Diamonds} gave Buckley a flush draw, but the {6-Clubs} wasn't enough.
