Strong KO'd by Puchkov
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
World Series of Poker bracelet winner Konstantin Puchkov opened for 2,200 from the hijack only to have Rob Strong from the Netherlands shove all in from the button for 12,500. The blinds folded, and Puchkov didn't seem to excited about the spot, though he still opted to call.
Puchkov: 
Strong: 
Indeed, Puchkov was way behind, but on this particular hand that didn't matter as the flop came down 
to give him the lead. Neither the 
turn nor 
river influenced the hand, and a disappointed Strong was sent to the rail while a lucky Puchkov was pushed the pot.
