Pupillo Goes To Value Town
Four players went to a flop of with just shy of 30,000 in the pot from preflop action. The small blind checked, putting action onto Nick Pupillo, who was in middle position and also checked. Next to act was Joe Bartholdi and he checked to the cutoff, who was the final player in the hand and bet 15,000.
The small blind quickly folded and action was then back on Pupillo, who put out chips to call. Bartholdi folded to take action heads up to the turn . Pupillo checked again and his opponent checked behind.
The river fell and Pupillo asked to see his opponent's stack. He then threw out a bet of 15,000, just shy of an effective all-in bet. The cutoff thought for a bit and then verbalized a call.
Pupillo tabled for a flopped set of aces and raked in the massive pot, bringing him up near the top of the leader board as Level 5 comes to a close.
