Lupo's Wild Ride Continues

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Evan Lupo has spent time as the chip leader on Day 1a, and also as one of the shortest stacks in the room.

Down to his last 13 big blinds, Lupo limped from under the gun, the hijack raised to 4,600, and the small blind three-bet to 14,500. Lupo thought it over for a bit before going all in for 25,300 total.

The hijack folded, and the small blind made the call.

Evan Lupo: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Board: {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Lupo's tournament life came down to the final card, but the {8-Diamonds} showed up to extend Lupo's up-and-down journey through Day 1.
