Bonta Comes Oh So Close

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

With a completed board of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} spread across the table, the action was on James Pupillo in middle position. He tossed in a bet of 11,500 into a pot of around 20,000. Vincent Bonta was his opponent and he chose to check-raise to 30,000 from the small blind.

Pupillo sat with his head in his hands, trying to come to a decision. Over a minute later, Pupillo splashed in the chips to call. "Good call," Bonta said as he tabled pocket jacks.

Pupillo turned over {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a set of queens and admitted it was a good attempt from Bonta. "That was a great bet. I just happened to be at the top of my range," Pupillo explained.
