Puchkov Pushing
It’s a three-pot bot and the aggressor is Annette Obrestad. Three people are contesting it and they are the aforementioned Norwegian, Barny Boatman and Konstantin Puchkov. The flop was and all three players checked. The turn was the , Puchkov checked, Boatman bet 2,000, Obrestad called and Puchkov check-raised to 11,600 leaving him just shrapnel behind.
Boatman has the look of a man who is about to commit murder. He groans and his hand turns into a dangerous looking claw. Luckily, the claw retracts and the hand goes into the muck. Obrestad also mucked her hand and the Russian scooped in the pot.
“Did you have pocket kings?” Boatman asked Obrestad.
The Norwegian nodded her head.
The table is shaping up nicely:
Seat 1: Steve Jelinek
Seat 2: Konstantin Puchkov
Seat 4: Barny Boatman
Seat 7: Annette Obrestad
Seat 10: Mike Watson
