Davidson Out, Nick Pupillo Crowned Season XV HPT Player of the Year
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nick Davidson was the last player in the running to overcome Nick Pupillo for HPT Player of the Year, and he would have had to win the tournament to score enough points to do it.
He found himself flipping versus James Burns, but the flop left him far behind.
Nick Davidson: 
James Burns: 
The dealer spread 
, and Davidson patiently awaited the turn and river with two outs remaining in the deck. The 
turn and 
river changed nothing, and Pupillo officially claims the Season XV HPT Player of the Year award.
