David Gutfreund Picks Off Opponent's Bluff

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board reading {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, David Gutfreund check calls a bet of 1,600 from a player in the cutoff.

Gutfreund checked when the {q-Hearts} came on the river. The cutoff bet 7,000 and Gutfreund quickly called.

The cutoff showed {6-Hearts}{7-Spades} and upon Gutfreund showing {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} the dealer said, "Ladies and Gentleman" to announce Gutfreund's two pair.

The Champ Takes a Hit From Nick Pupillo

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Nick Pupillo bet 900 from the hijack, Joshua Reichard called on the button, and the big blind folded on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop.

Pupillo lead out for 2500 when the {k-Hearts} hit the turn. Reichard thought for a moment before mucking his cards.
