Voorhees Busts Pupillo

Hill Kerby
Hill Kerby
Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nick Pupillo shoved all in from the hijack and action folded around to Matt Voorhees in the small blind, who announced he was all in over the top of Pupillo. Samuel Uhlmann was in the big blind and got out of their way, making it time to turn up the cards for the runout.

Nick Pupillo: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Matt Voorhees: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Pupillo was in need of pairing up or better in order to stay in the tournament. The flop came {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, leaving him drawing insanely slim to either running eights or running nines. The turn {j-Hearts} left him drawing dead as the river {4-Diamonds} fell to make the hand official as Voorhees raked in the pot, bringing him close to the half-million mark in chips.
