Bounty For Puchkov

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Stud Hi-Low

On the table of Vanessa Selbst, Konstantin Puchkov has had a few roller coaster levels as we saw him with as low as 5,000 and as high as 15,000 chips. He managed to almost double that in the last two hours or so, just now he knocked out a short stack when completing with the showing.

The short stack moved all in for 1,600 with the showing and had a pair of nines until sixth. He threw the final card towards the dealer to declare defeat and the Russian scooped the pot.

Bonomo ended up with kings and jacks, but it was no good as Lane made a better two pair in aces and sevens.

Friedman With a Wheel

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
