Pupillo Doubles Through Boudreau

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Nick Pupillo, who shoved all in from the cutoff for about 440,000. Kevin Boudreau reshipped in the button and folded the blinds out.

Pupillo: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Boudreau: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

"Ace!" Pupillo's rail called.

That's exactly what happened as the {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flopped. No seven arrived to save Boudreau.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Lai: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Dang: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Dang had the lead, and he got a cinch when the {9-Hearts} turned.

Lai Shows a Monster Bluff, Wins Boudreau's Approval

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Tyler Corbett bet 320,000 from the big blind into preflop raiser Kane Lai on a board reading {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Lai thought awhile then raised to 775,000. Corbett snap-called, and the river brought the {7-Clubs}. Corbett checked, and Lai put him all in for 945,000. After about a three-minute tank, Corbett mucked his holding, and Lai flipped {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} as he dragged the pot.

Across the table, Kevin Boudreau grinned and gave Lai a thumbs up.

Lai Calls Down Boudreau

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Kane Lai
Kane Lai

Kevin Boudreau opened under the gun to 125,000 and got calls from Kane Lai (middle position) and Nick Pupillo. The latter checked the {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, and Boudreau bet 250,000. Only Lai called. The turn brought {10-Hearts}, and Lai called another barrel of 500,000. On the {8-Clubs} river, Boudreau thought a minute and then fired a final bullet of 800,000. Lai leaned back in his chair and thought for about 90 seconds before announcing a call.

Boudreau flipped {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair and flush draw on flop that bricked off, and Lai turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.
