Pupillo Sniffs Out a Bluff to Double Off Afriat
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Nick Pupillo raised to 550,000 in middle position and Eric Afriat called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♣6♦4♣ flop. Pupillo then bet 800,000 on the 9♦ turn and Afriat called.
The river was the A♣ and Afriat bet enough to put Pupillo all in. Pupillo had 4,375,000 remaining and, again with the sweater covering his face, went deep into the tank.
The clock was eventually called, the dealer advised to the floor that Pupillo didn't have enough time. Eventually, the floor gave Pupillo 30 seconds, and he allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before announcing the call. Afriat could only show K♦8♦ for a bluff, while Pupillo turned over K♥9♥ for two pair to win the pot and double up.
