Konstantin Puchkov Eliminated in 8th Place ($30,876)

Level 23
Konstantin Puchkov - 8th Place
Konstantin Puchkov - 8th Place

Omaha Hi-Lo

Adam Friedman raised from the cutoff only to have a short-stacked Konstantin Puchkov three-bet to 45,000 from the small blind, leaving himself a single orange T1,000 chip behind. The big folded and Friedman four-bet. Konstantin called off his last chip and the cards were turned up:

Puchkov: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Friedman: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"How am I going to win this one?" Friedman asked aloud after the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

"Five or nine," Greg Mueller responded. No sooner did he say it than the dealer burned and turned the {9-Clubs}. Puchkov's face dropped and he watched helplessly as the useless {6-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Friedman won the hand with a pair of nines while Puchkov shook hands with the remaining players and then exited in eighth place.
