Puchkov Slides
Level 8
: 400/800, 75 ante
Konstantin Puchkov, who reached the final table at EPT Barcelona, has a couple of pots to see him slide down the leaderboard.
In the latest hand the player under the gun limped, Puchkov limped behind as did Francisco Torres in the small blind. The big blind was not liking this limping malarky and made it 3,800 to play, a bet that only Puchkov called.
Flop: 
- The big blind continued his aggression and made it 6,000 to play but Puchkov was going nowhere and quickly made the call.
Turn: 
- The jack of hearts on the turn saw the big blind check-call Puchkov's bet of 8,000
River: 
- Both players checked what appeared to be a relative blank.
WSOP bracelet winner Puchkov turned over 
but he was beaten by the big blind's 
, leaving him with 47,200
