Nick Pupillo Eliminated by Jordan Smith

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Action was opened preflop by a raise to 1,500 from the hijack. Jordan Smith three-bet from the cutoff to 4,000. Nick Pupillo four-bet all in for around 22,000 from the small blind, and the cutoff folded before Smith put in the chips to make the call.

Nick Pupillo: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Jordan Smith: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} giving Pupillo a pair of queens, but the turn was a {10-Clubs}, completing Broadway for Smith. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Smith faded the chop to take down the pot and send Nick Pupillo to the rail for a moment, though he has since reentered on the final heat of this tournament.

Snuffer Caught Bluffing

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Iverson Cotton Snuffer bet 3,500 on the river after his big blind neighbor checked to him on {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The big blind flicked in a chip to call and Snuffer announced king-high. In response, the big blind showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

"What kinda call was that?" an incredulous Snuffer exclaimed. "I like that call. That impressed me...or depressed me, I guess."

At another table, Frank Bonacci ran dry on chips and headed to the exit.

Esquivel Gets There Before Break

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A player in middle position bet 3,200 on an {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop and the next two players called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and the middle player tossed in his 20,000. Mikey Esquivel instantly shoved over the top for right around double that and the third player, in the cutoff, shot out of his seat. He thought for about a minute and then called.

Middle position: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Mikey Esquivel: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The river: {k-Hearts}, giving Esquivel a flush and the whole pot.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.

Snuffer Hits Straight on River

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

With around 8,500 in the pot on a board reading {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Iverson Cotton Snuffer had three T1,000 chips on the table for a bet out of the big blind. His opponent on the button deliberated for about a minute and a half before eventually verbally announcing a call.

Snuffer immediately tabled the {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a straight and his opponent checked his cards again before mucking.

A recent entrant into the tournament, Snuffer finds himself with a stack and a half going into the second break of the day.

Nuts for Durante

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Action folded to the hijack preflop, who opened the action with a raise to 1,500. Dennis Durante called from the button, as did the big blind. The three players saw the {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, and the big blind checked. The hijack fired a continuation-bet of 3,000 and Durante made the call. The big blind folded, taking action heads up to the {q-Spades} turn. The hijack checked, and Durante bet 7,000. His bet was called and the {4-Clubs} was dealt on the river. Again, the hijack checked. Durante fired a bet of 8,000, and after a long deliberation, the hijack called.

Durante showed {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nut flush, and his opponent flashed {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a cracked set before sending his cards to the muck.

Byrnes Gets Knockout

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

There was about 8,000 in a three-handed pot on a flop reading {7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The player in the small blind bet 6,000 and was called only by Bill Byrnes. The turn came {k-Clubs} and the player shoved all in for around 18,000. Byrnes snap called and turned over {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, good for a full house. His opponent mucked his hand, though it was revealed to be {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The river was a meaningless {9-Spades} and Byrnes collected the pot.
