Gaspard Bests Pupillo in Three-Bet Pot

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Prince Gaspard
Prince Gaspard

Nick Pupillo opened for 1,300 in the cutoff and Prince Gaspard made it 3,000 on his left. They went heads up to {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Pupillo check-called 4,300. On the {8-Clubs} turn, he check-called 5,000 more. On the {4-Clubs} river, Gaspard fired a final shell of 10,000.

Pupillo shook his head and Gaspard held out his hand after flicking in the chips, like a basketball player holding a follow through.

"Don't look at me, look at the hand," Gaspard said. "That's my follow through."

Pupillo thought it over and splashed in a call, but he couldn't beat Gaspard's {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

"I'm the worst black player to ever play this game," Gaspard declared, turning to Ty Reiman. "Ain't I the worst black player you've ever seen?"

"I plead the fifth," Reiman said.
