Puchkov Continues Hot Form To Eliminate Wahlbeck
Stud-8
Topias Wahlbeck has been eliminated in a hand of Stud-8 against recently crowned WSOP bracelet winner Konstantin Puchkov.
Wahlbeck fired a bet on fifth street, before tossing in his last 100 chip on sixth street. Wahlbeck held two pair, nines and tens, as Puchkov was showing four low cards on board and revealed an open-ended straight draw before the river was dealt. Wahlbeck didn't improve but Puchkov made his straight to scoop and eliminate Wahlbeck from the tournament. Puchkov is up to 105,000.
Meanwhile Eric Brix has finally lost the battle with his short stack, eliminated on a nearby table by Scott Seiver.
