Pupillo Continues to Build with Double Knockout

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Action folded to Duma Lowery on the button and he raised to 2,000, which Mike Hassab called from the small blind. MSPT Team Pro Nick Pupillo came along from the big blind, and the flop came down {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

Hassab checked, Pupillo tossed in two red T5,000 chips for a bet of 10,000, and Lowery called off his last 7,500. Hassab then check-raised all in for 22,000, and Pupillo called the additional 12,000.

Lowery: {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Pupillo: {j-Diamonds}{q-}
Hassab: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Hassab got it in good with top pair, but both Lowery and Pupillo were drawing to two different straight. The {A-Clubs} turn gave Pupillo his, and that left Lowery drawing dead. Meanwhile, Hassab could still win with either an ace or kings on the flop, but it was not meant to be as the {8-Clubs} blanked on the river.
