Nick Pupillo opened the action with a raise under the gun to 4,000 bringing Cecile Ticherfatine in the next seat over before Michael Nia raised two seats over to 8,500.
The table folded back around to Pupillo who called which brought in Ticherfatine also.
The action froze on a flop of 3♥9♥10♦ bringing in a free 8♥ turn.
