Pupillo Fires Thrice

HillKerby

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aaron Massey was overheard joking as he needled Nick Pupillo over a hand that he had recently played that left Pupillo upset after the fact. Massey joked with Pupillo, asking how often he played hands that he was unhappy about, asking if it was one hand every three weeks. Pupillo played along as he got up and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Relax kid, you'll get it back," assured Massey.

Moments later, Pupillo opened to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by the small blind. The flop came and Pupillo made a continuation-bet of 10,000 after the small blind checked to him. He received a call.

The turn was and the small blind checked again. Pupillo fired a second barrel for 21,000 and the small blind thought for a bit before making the call.

The river fell and the small blind checked to Pupillo once more, who emptied the clip with a third barrel of 24,000. The small blind quickly folded.
