Nick Pupillo got in his last 20,000 or so with 
preflop but was smashed by the 
of Prince Gaspard. The 
flop gave Pupillo the flush draw he needed to have some hope but Gaspard remained unfazed.
"We fading it," he announced to his friend who was sweating as the 
fell.
Unfortunately for the bracelet winner, a 
river completed Pupillo's flush draw.

After an early open to 1,100 and a three-bet to 2,200 by Prince Gaspard, followed by a call, Nick Pupillo made it 9,700 on the button. Action folded back to Gaspard, who smiled and put his stack of 9,900 in.
"It's only fair that I play this last hand with you," he declared as the last player folded. "I've got my favorite hand in the world."

"Whoa," Gaspard said with a laugh as the 
was in the window, followed by 
and then 
and 
to complete the board.

A player in middle position checked a 
flop and Daniel Sepiol bet about 1,300 from the cutoff. His opponent came out firing with a check-raise to 4,200 and Sepiol called, bringing a 
turn. The middle player bet 7,000 and Sepiol called. Both players checked the 
river and the postflop aggressor shook his head.
"Nothing?" Sepiol asked hopefully.
His opponent flicked 
in for a weak pair and a missed draw, and Sepiol showed for a superior pair.
