Pumilia Hanging Tough

It's been an up-and-down kind of a day for Richard Pumilia, but he's still out there hanging tough. He opened a recent pot to 2,500 from the button, then called when big blind Soren Kongsgaard re-raised to 6,500. Kongsgaard checke an all-spade flop to Pumilia, {A-Spades} {4-Spades} {J-Spades}, then disgustedly mucked when Pumilia moved in.

"I had to move in," said Pumilia as he showed {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for top two pair.
