Crossing the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player opened for 700 in early position and was called by Paul Cross in middle position. The player on the button shoved all in for 3,400, and the opener called. Cross moved all in, and he folded out the raiser to isolate the player on the button.

Cross: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Button: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, meaning Cross won with aces on the river.

Nick Pupillo, who made a deep run in Mid-States Poker Tour Tropicana Evansville last month, is among the recently registered. Pupillo took seventh there for $8,647, and he notably cashed for $99,981 at the Monster Stack tournament in this year's World Series of Poker. A native of Illinois, Pupillo is located within the tour's footprint, and we may see him at more stops in the future.

Lamphere Called Down

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Adam Lamphere bet 800 from under the gun on a flop of {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} after both blinds checked. Both players called, and a {q-Diamonds} arrived to pair the board. Two more checks followed, and Lamphere bet 2,100. The small blind called, while Brian Zupancich folded. On the {a-Spades} river, the small blind checked and saw Lamphere bet 5,000. After a couple of minutes of thought, the player made the call, only to see Lamphere turn over {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for trips.
