Moon Gets One Through
Level 16
: 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nick Pupillo opened to 12,000 from middle position and was three-bet all in by Chris Moon, who was in the hijack. Dapo Ajayi was in the cutoff and asked for a count, which was totaled to be 53,000.
Ajayi went deep into the tank and eventually folded, triggering a series of folds behind. Pupillo then confirmed the amount and folded.
Ajayi told Pupillo afterward that his open had scared him out of a call, earning Moon the pot without a showdown. Meanwhile, the first 25 minutes of play has been kind to Ajayi, seeing him double his stack. It has not been as fun for Pupillo, who is below 200,000.
