Coy Sends Filtz Packing

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Justin Filtz's poor Day 1a didn't regress to the mean, as he's already busto on Day 2. After a Drake Bronk open, Filtz shoved for about 20,000 from the button and was called by small blind Don Coy. Bronk folded.

Coy:
Filtz:

The flop was safe for Bronk, but a turn and river meant he was done.

Pupillo Gets There

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Don Coy opened for 8,000 under the gun and was called by Nick Pupillo on his left and Jason Sell on the button. In the small blind, a player made it 26,000 to go, and Coy thought for awhile before folding. Pupillo asked for a count of the reraiser's remaining chips, and told it was about 50,000, he moved all in. Sell folded, and the reraiser called.

Pupillo:
Small blind:

Pupillo flopped a straight draw on , but a missed him. The river filled his Broadway straight though, and he scored the knockout.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We found Andrew Rubinberg thinking over a shove of about 40,000 from Kevin Fiedler, after Rubinberg bet 7,000 on a flop. Rubinberg slid forward a call after some though, and Fiedler turned over for the nuts.

"Oh, Jesus," Rubinberg said, tabling . He didn't hit his backdoor straight.

Tom Peterson busted out at another table.
