Nagel Doubles, Puccilli Crippled
Stefano Puccilli, easily the tightest player at this final table, opens to 67,000 from under the gun and the action folds all the way around to Mario Nagel in the big blind, who makes the call.
The flop comes down 
and Nagel check calls an 80,000 continuation bet from the Italian. The turn is the 
and Nagel checks again. Puccilli makes it 150,000 to play and Nagel takes a few moments to compose himself, takes two slight sideways glances at this opponent before announcing he is all in.
Puccilli removes his hat for what we believe to be the first time in this tournament, we weren't even aware he had hair, before staring at Nagel for 20-30 seconds and he makes the call.
Puccilli: 
Nagel: 
Puccilli is a 70/30 favourite but that counts as nothing because the river is the 
and the German doubles up.
