Pupillo Gets Lucky
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
A player in the small blind bet 900 on a 
flop, and Mid-States Poker Tour sponsored pro Nick Pupillo made it 3,000 in the hijack. The player on the button woke up with a cold raise to 6,000, folding out the bettor. Pupillo tossed in 12,000 and then called his opponent's shove.

Pupillo had run into a set, but the 
saved him with a flush on the turn. The 
river didn't pair the board, and the player on the button was left shaking his head at the beat.

Good River for Chrisp
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Max Chrisp bet 600 against three opponents on a 
flop, and a fellow middle-position player made it 1,300. Chrisp called after two folds, and he check-called another 1,400 on the turn. He checked the 
river as well, and his opponent bet 2,475. Chrisp raised to 8,000.
"Ace-queen of spades?" Chrisp's opponent asked.
"I've got kings," Chrisp replied. The player tossed in a call, and Chrisp showed 
for sevens full.
"Only river that gets you paid," Chrisp's opponent said.
At another table, Blake Bohn reentered.

Chrisp Back for More
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Last time the Mid-States Poker Tour was here, Max Chrisp navigated to a third-place finish and very nearly had the win in his grasp as he was the chip leader three-handed. He ended up cashing for $43,650, making his presence known with a gregarious personality in the live stream. He already experienced more MSPT success by cashing in the $360 $50,000 guaranteed held here earlier in this stop.
