Gouveia Folds Out Pupillo

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Action was heads up between Nick Pupillo in the big blind and Elilton Gouveia, who was in early position with around 5,000 already in the middle on a board of {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}. Pupillo fired out 3,000 and Gouveia called.

The dealer burned and turned the river {10-Spades} and Pupillo checked. Gouveia went into the tank for a chunk of time, causing Pupillo to look up to him. As soon as Pupillo's gaze raised, Gouveia threw out 5,500.

Such a bet was plenty to force Pupillo out of the pot and Gouveia took down the pot.

Under the gun made it 600 to go and Kevin Has three-bet to 2,200 in early position. A couple of folds ensued to put action onto the hijack, who cold four-bet shoved for 18,400. Ha confirmed the amount and then made the call.

All-In Player: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Kvin Ha: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Ha mentioned something along the lines of being unable to fold even before seeing his opponent's hand. Luckily for him, the board ran out {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} to give him a set of kings and earn the knockout and nearly-full double.

"Cooler," he added of the situation. "What can you do?"

Rotholz Applies Pressure

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

There was a decent pile of chips already in the middle on a board reading {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and action was on Gary Herstein in the big blind. Herstein had a bet of 3,300 already out in front of him and was facing a raise to 8,500 by Hal Rotholz, who was in the cutoff.

Herstein thought for a while and eventually let his hand go. Rotholz quickly flashed one card that appeared to be a red {4-} before putting it back face down and sending his winning hand to the dealer in exchange for the pot.
