Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Nick Pupillo shoved blind from under the gun for his last 19,700. Action folded to Rich Dixon and he shoved over the top for just under 100,000. Don Angstead called off his last 71,200 from the button and the three turned up their hands.

Nick Pupillo: {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Rich Dixon: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Don Angstead: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

"Natural eight!" said Pupillo, though Dixon and Angstead were likely to be the ones competing for both pots.

The {2-Spades} came in the window on a complete flop of {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, giving Angstead a flopped set and all but sealing the deal for him. The turn {3-Clubs} and river {a-Spades} did just that and he knocked out Pupillo, leaving Dixon with just over ten big blinds along the way. Meanwhile, Angstead now finds himself with a comfortable stack nearing the end of the evening.
