Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board reading {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, a player in early position shoved all in, and Nick Pupillo called.

Pupillo shows {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} but his opponent had flopped a set holding {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

The {5-Diamonds} river failed to improve Pupillo's hand and his opponent was awarded a full double.
