Triplet Cowboys Save Three Short Stacks

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Konstantin Puchkov.  Just one of the many examples of kings holding.
Konstantin Puchkov. Just one of the many examples of kings holding.

Pocket kings are all over the place this level. Konstantin Puchkov played them by flat calling a raise preflop in the big blind, then check-raising a {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} flop and getting paid 139,500 by {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Qualifier David Stogel had just 60,000 and got it in preflop with his kings vs. Mario Adinolfi's {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}. These held but Adinolfi just chuckled (he has 610,000).

Finally Erich Kollmann was another preflop all-in cowboy-holder vs. the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} of [Removed:285]. The crowd was so intense around this particular table that his chip count will have to come separately, later.
