Pupillo Not Rewarded After Sniffing Out Trick
A player under the gun opened to 4,600 in early position and got one call. Nick Pupillo three-bet to 16,600 on the button, and the small blind, Daniel Fisher, jammed it in for about 60,000. The first two players folded.
"Good fold," Fisher said. "I had aces."
Pupillo, though, hadn't acted.
"How do you not know I'm in the hand?" he wondered suspiciously. "Pull the 16,600 in."
It was 43,800 more to Pupillo, and he slid forward a call after another 90 seconds or so.
"Ace-king," Greg Himmelbrand said with a laugh. "I could have walked away, I knew he had ace-king."
Pupillo was indeed racing with sevens against 
, and the 
flop was a safe one for the Mid-States Poker Tour team pro. A 
turn doomed him, though.
Fisher received a one-round penalty for talking about his hand. Pupillo busted his last 30,000 or so just after the break.
