Another Brick for Nick Pupillo

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Nick Pupillo's seat was empty and we inquired as to what happened. According to neighbor Mikey Esquivel, Pupillo opened in the cutoff and then got it in on a {6-}{3-}{2-} flop with {q-}{6-} against a player with {6-}{5-} in the big blind. The turn was a king but the river a five and Pupillo hit the rail again to reenter.

Spears Reaches the Century Mark

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

With around 6,000 in the pot and three players on a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Andy Spears checked from the big blind. A player in early position bet 3,200 and was called by the hijack. Spears raised to 12,500, and after a bit of thought the player in early position folded. The hijack followed suit and quickly folded as well, and Spears now has a stack of 100,000.

Mikey Esquivel just shared a hand with us where a player in early position opened the action with a raise to 2,200. Lydia Waltonbaugh three-bet to 5,200, and Esquivel made a four-bet to 11,200 with {k-}{k-}. Action folded back to Waltonbaugh, who shoved for 65,000. Esquivel ended up folding face up, and Waltonbaugh took down the pot preflop.

Campbell's Bluff Picked Off

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Andrew Campbell
Andrew Campbell

On a board of {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, Kannan Chandran checked in middle position and Andrew Campbell said he was all in. It was enough to put Chandran, who had just under 25,000 at risk for the size of the pot. Chandran thought about 30 seconds and flicked in a couple of chips.

Campbell winged {a-Spades}{10-Spades} into the middle and Chandran tabled his {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Kerr Busts Newcomer

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A table had recently broken and there was now a new player at Table 19. Jack Kerr opened from the hijack to 3,500 and the small blind called. The new player was in the big blind and shoved all in for 18,300. Kerr made the call and the small blind folded.

Jack Kerr: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Other player: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Kerr's pair of aces was good to win the coin flip and secure the pot.

Yin Doubles Through Esquivel

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Hae Yin bet 5,000, about the size of the pot, from under the gun on {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Mikey Esquivel was in there with a quick call in middle position and the turn brought {q-Spades}. Yin shoved immediately for 22,000 and Esquivel got the count and called moments later.

Hae Yin: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Mikey Esquivel: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Esquivel was in rough shape and the {10-Clubs} river didn't help him.
