Finally One For Puchkov

Omaha 8/b

Konstantin Puchkov raised from the button, and Al Barbieri defended his big blind.

The flop of {J-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} saw Barbieri check-call a bet, and he check-called another one on the {A-Hearts} turn. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds} that rivered.

Puchkov had ace-jack in his hand, and his two pair was good enough to earn him his largest pot in several orbits.

"Al Will Win This Pot"

Omaha 8/b

Everything is going Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri's way right now. He is beating Konstantin Puchkov senseless with naked aggression and made hand. Barbieri called Puchkov's pre-flop raise to a flop of {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Barbieri checked and called a bet

When the turn fell {10-Diamonds}, Barbieri led into Puchkov. Puchkov didn't seem pleased by that development. He paused, checked his cards, and then called. Barbieri fired again on the {6-Diamonds} river. Puchkov looked deflated, like he had missed a draw. He eventually folded his hand.

Puchkov is down to about 500,000 now.

Barbieri the Bully

Omaha 8/b

Al Barbieri has been winning the majority of the pots in the last few passes of the button. We picked up the action as he raised to open another pot, and Konstantin Puchkov called from the big blind.

The flop came out {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}, and Puchkov let Barbieri bet before he check-raised. Barbieri came right back with another raise over the top, and Puchkov yielded to the heat. He's down under 700,000 now.

Barbieri Trips Up Puchkov

Hold'em

We're back to hold'em and on the very first hand Al Barbieri brought out the aggression. He three-bet the big blind after Konstantin Puchkov raised the button. Konstantin called tot a flop of {4-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} {3-Clubs}, where he called a bet from Barbieri. Barbieri fired again on the {4-Clubs} turn and was called again. Both players checked the {6-Clubs} river. Barbieri turned up {a-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for trip fours. That was enough to take down the pot.

Barbieri took down the second, third and fourth hold'em hands as well. He seems to be betting or raising whenever the action comes to him. Whether he's getting good cards or trying to run over Puchkov is anyone's guess.

Stud

Barbieri: (X) (X) / {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {k-Hearts} / (X)
Leary: (X) (X) / {j-Spades} {6-Hearts} {j-Clubs} {2-Spades} / (X)

The first hand of stud was Dustin Leary's last hand of the tournament. He completed third street after Al Barbieri brought it in. Barbieri called to fourth street, where both players checked.

On fifth street, Leary made open jacks. He bet them and was called again by Barbieri. Leary bet the lead on sixth street, only to see Barbieri raise enough to put Leary all in. He called. Barbieri opened {k-Diamonds} {q-Spades} in the hole for a pair of kings and a flush draw. Leary had only a pair of jacks. Barbieri missed his draws on the river, but his kings stood strong when Leary also bricked out.

Leary leaves with a six-figure score. Barbieri is heads-up with Konstantin Puchkov for a bracelet.

Space for Barbieri

Razz

Puchkov: (X) (X) / 6-4-2-J / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / 5-Q-4-7 / (X)

Slowly but surely Al Barbieri is building up a chip stack against his last two opponnts. Konstantin Puchkov completed third street and was raised by Barbieri. Puchkov called and caught a baby to Barbieri's brick. Puchkov bet fourth street and fifth street but couldn't shake the tenacious Barbieri.

Both players checked sixth street. Down the river, Puchkov tanked for a while, then stole a sidelong glance at Barbieri before betting. Barbieri auto-called, turning up a 7, 6 and ace in the hole for a 7-6 low. It was the winner.
