Stud

Konstantin Puchkov brought it in with the {9-Spades} , and he called the completion from Al Barbieri's {K-Diamonds} .

Puchkov: (X) (X) / {9-Spades} {10-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} / (X)
Barbieri: (X) (X) / {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs} / (X)

On fourth street, Barbieri bet his lead, and Puchkov called. Puchkov checked when he pulled the ace on fifth street, and he called another Barbieri bet. Puchkov paired on sixth street, and he took a long look at Barbieri's board before leading out with a bet. Now it was Barbieri calling, and he was faced with one more bet on seventh street.

"Crying call," Barbieri said, splashing the call into the pot. When he saw Puchkov's {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} opened up, he said, "Good hand," and folded under.
