Puchkov Outdraws Barbieri
Razz
Puchkov: (X) (X) / J-A-8-4
Barbieri: (X) (X) / J-A-2-K
It seemed like Al Barbieri was going for the kill against Konstantin Puchkov. Barbieri brought it in on third street, then raised after Puchkov completed. Puchkov callled. Puchkov had first action on fourth street and checked, then raised Barbieri's bet. Barbieri didn't slow down. He three-bet and Puchkov called.
Barbieri bet fifth street; Puchkov made a hesitating call. But things turned disastrous for Barbieri on sixth street, as Puchkov led out. Barbieri snapped a few chips together in frustration and folded.
That big pot gives Puchkov some needed breathing room.
