Kinder's Jacks Run Smack Into Pupillo's Aces
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
Nick Pupillo opened to 1,500 from under the gun, and Kyle Kinder three-bet to 5,600 next to act. Pupillo four-bet to 16,500 and Kinder called.
Pupillo checked the 
flop to Kinder, who bet 27,000, leaving himself 2,000 behind. Pupillo put a column of 5k chips in the pot to put Kinder at risk, and Kinder quickly called his last few chips off.
Nick Pupillo: 
Kyle Kinder: 
Pupillo's aces needed to fade a queen, jack or seven to knockout Kinder, and the 
turn and river kept the rockets in command.
"Can't ask for a better flop for jacks!" Kinder said before leaving the tournament area.

Lowery Jams
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Daniel Lowery raised to 3,000 from under the gun, and was called by Jonathan Williams in the hijack, as well as the player in the small blind.
The small blind checked a 
flop to Lowery, who bet 3,500. Williams called, and the small blind check-raised to 12,000. Lowery three-bet to 54,500, leaving himself a single 100 chip behind. Williams folded, and the small blind tanked for a minute.
"You got a set?" the small blind asked Lowery, who didn't respond. The small blind eventually folded.

Moscati Wins, Table Breaks
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Vincent Moscati limped in on the button, and the small blind limped in as well. Chris Cornell checked his option in the big blind, and all three players saw the 
flop together.
The small blind led out for 1,600, and only Moscati called to see the 
fall on the turn. Both players checked to the 
river, where the small blind checked again. Moscati bet 3,000 and the small blind folded. Moscati flashed the from his hand, and the tournament director brought racks to the table, breaking up a dangerous table that included Henry Zou and James Pupillo in its ranks.
