Konstantin Puchkov Eliminated in 8th Place ($30,876)
Level 23
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: 
Friedman:

. Puchkov's face dropped and he watched helplessly as the useless 
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.
