Michael Kinzer opened with a raise from the hijack and was called by Cy Church from the cutoff before Nick Pupillo three-bet all in from the big blind. Action was back on Kinzer who isolated and both players tabled their hands.

Michael Kinzer: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Pupillo was behind and didn't find any help from the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The {9-Hearts} turn gave Pupillo more outs with a gutshot straight draw but the {4-Clubs} river ended his tournament.
