Third Pair Good Enough For Puchkov
Konstantin Puchkov, a regular on the European Poker Tour, has just increased his stack to 250,000 after winning a nice sized pot from Kristoffer Thorsson.
Thorsson opened to 10,500 from early position and it initially looked as if all of his table mates had folded, but Puchkov, tucked away in the big blind next to the imposing figure that is "Elky", called.
Flop: 
- Both players decline to bet, simply checking
Turn: 
- Puchkov checks, then quickly calls Thorsson's 14,000 bet.
River: 
- Puchkov once again refuses to bet but as soon as Thorsson bets 25,000 he beats him into the pot to call.
Thorsson: 
Puchkov: 
- the winning hand
