Mike Shin open-jammed and Nick Pupillo called off.
Mike Shin: 
Nick Pupillo: 
Pupillo was ahead with his made hand but the flop fell 
giving Shin the flush draw with his two overs.
Shin would get there with the 
turn and Pupillo needed a nine or three on the river to keep his tournament hopes alive.
Unfortunately, the board would double pair with the 
river and Pupillo was eliminated in second place taking home $98,195 for his efforts and extending his lead atop the HPT Season XV Player of the Year leaderboard.
