Puchalski Doubles Into Contention
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Defending champion Alexander Puchalski is already on the second bullet for the day and got it in for around the starting stack with the Q♥Q♠. That had the 8♥8♣ of his opponent crushed but the 7♠6♦5♣ flop was a mighty sweat.
However, the 7♣ turn and A♥ river brought no upset and Puchalski doubled to an above-average stack.
