Pupillo Doubles Through Hoover

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

John Hoover came in for 55,000 in middle position, and Nicholas Pupillo shoved for 173,000 on the button. Hoover called.

Hoover: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Pupillo: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The race was on, and Hoover flopped more outs as {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} hit the felt. The {5-Hearts} closed off backdoor flush possibilities on the turn.

"Pair the board," someone from Pupillo's rail called. Pupillo was in agreement with this sentiment.

"Pair the board, please," he echoed.

The dealer did pair the board: {4-Diamonds} was the river card, and Pupillo doubled up.
