Who Can Stop Bruce Russell?

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

With roughly 5,000 in the pot and a flop of {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, MSPT Team Pro Nick Pupillo checked from the cutoff and then called when chip leader Bruce Russell bet 5,500 from the button.

After the dealer burned and turned the {7-Clubs}, Pupillo seized the initiative and led out for a hefty 19,400. Russell gave it some thought, and then tossed in a call to see the {Q-Spades} river.

Pupillo checked, and Russell did the same before showing the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. It was good as Pupillo simply sent his cards to the muck unseen.
