Alexander Doubles Through Pupillo

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Matt Alexander shipped under the gun for 63,000, and action folded to the big blind, Nick Pupillo, who called after thinking only briefly.

"Nobody respects the under-the-gun raise," Alexander said, flipping {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. "We're probably flipping."

He was right, as Pupillo had {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. A board of {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} meant Alexander held on for the win with jacks and fives.
