Pilla Piles Twice

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Michael Pilla
Michael Pilla

Hand #1:

Gerald Claunch raised to 1,800 from early position, and action folded to Michael Pilla in the big blind. He three-bet shoved for around 18,000, and Claunch quickly folded.

Hand #2:

The very next hand, Joseph Brose raised to 800 from the cutoff, and Pilla jammed again, this time for a little over 20,000.

"Can you spread the pot, please?" Michael Esquivel said with a grin in the big blind before folding, and Brose quickly followed suit.

"Same hand!" Brose said with a smile, rolling over his {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for the chop, then adding, "Glad you didn't have the king!"
