Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo got the cap in preflop from the cutoff and stuck the rest in on the {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. Sam Snead completed the bet and a player in early position called. The {6-Clubs} and {2-Spades} both checked through and Snead won the side pot with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} over {9-Diamonds}{9-}.

Pupillo, however, had {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} and scooped the much larger main pot.
