Nick Pupillo got in his last 20,000 or so with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} preflop but was smashed by the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} of Prince Gaspard. The {9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop gave Pupillo the flush draw he needed to have some hope but Gaspard remained unfazed.

"We fading it," he announced to his friend who was sweating as the {8-Spades} fell.

Unfortunately for the bracelet winner, a {4-Clubs} river completed Pupillo's flush draw.
