Dixon Doubles Through Pupillo In Dramatic Fashion

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

After Nick Pupillo and Rich Dixon were involved in a pot on the previous hand where Dixon folded to a shove from Pupillo on a board of {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}, Pupillo opened to 125,000 from under the gun and Dixon ripped in his last 630,000. Pupillo asked for a count and then called.

Rich Dixon: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Nick Pupillo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The two found themselves in a coin flip situation until the flop fell in Pupillo's favor, coming {2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The turn came {k-Hearts} and Dixon commented about how he couldn't even hit a jack. Just like that, the {9-Clubs} fell on the river and he faded the end of his tournament life en route to a double and a near-average stack.
