Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Konstantin Puchkov bet into a massive pot against two opponents, with another player already all in on a board of {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Steve "Bald Eagle" Zolotow called, as did another player, and the {6-Diamonds} hit the river. Puchkov bet again, and Zolotow raised. The third player folded, and Puchkov called. Zolotow showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for ace-three low and the nut flush for high. Puchkov mucked in disgust, while the short stack managed to survive with a quarter of the main pot, showing {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the same low as Zolotow.
