Kinder's Jacks Run Smack Into Pupillo's Aces
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
Nick Pupillo opened to 1,500 from under the gun, and Kyle Kinder three-bet to 5,600 next to act. Pupillo four-bet to 16,500 and Kinder called.
Pupillo checked the 
flop to Kinder, who bet 27,000, leaving himself 2,000 behind. Pupillo put a column of 5k chips in the pot to put Kinder at risk, and Kinder quickly called his last few chips off.
Nick Pupillo: 
Kyle Kinder: 
Pupillo's aces needed to fade a queen, jack or seven to knockout Kinder, and the 
turn and 
river kept the rockets in command.
"Can't ask for a better flop for jacks!" Kinder said before leaving the tournament area.
