Konstantin Puchkov Eliminated in 9th Place ($49,245)

Joe Gualtieri started the action off in this recent hand by raising it up to 48,000 from middle position. Konstantin Puchkov in the cut off made the call and both players were allowed to see the flop.

The flop came {2-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {8-Hearts} and Gualtieri continued for 102,000. Puchkov responded by putting out 500,000. Gualtieri then moved all in and Puchkov made the call and was all in and at risk.

PuchKov: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Gualtieri: {K-Clubs} {k-Diamonds}

Puchkov was going to need a queen to stay alive in this tournament, he received no such luck as the {4-Spades} fell on the turn and the {A-Clubs} landed on the river.
