Eight Smooth for Pupillo

Level 25 : Limits 40,000/80,000, 0 ante

Ian Pelz opened from middle position, with Michael Rodrigues calling on the button, and Nick Pupillo doing the same from the small blind. Pelz took one, as his opponents on either side of him drew two. Action then checked through.

Pupillo then opted to pat, with Pelz drawing one and Rodrigues taking two. Pupillo bet out, Pelz raised, Rodrigues folded and Pupillo slid in a three-bet. Pelz thought for a while before calling.

Both players stood pat on the final draw, and Pupillo bet again. Clearly frustrated, Pelz flicked in a chip, only for Pupillo to announce "eight smooth" and table 8x5x4x3x2x. Pelz threw his cards towards the dealer.
