Puchkov Triples, Hays Collects Side & Rule Busted
Foster Hays raised to 13,500 and picked up two callers, Rocky Rule and Konstantin Puchkov on the button and big blind respectively. When the flop fell , Puchkov committed his short stack, Hays moved all in over the top, and Rule called off, creating a sizable side pot between the latter two.
Showdown
Puchkov:
Rule:
Hays:
Rule had flopped top pair while Puchkov held an open-ended straight draw, but they were both behind the pocket rockets of Hays. The turn was of no consequences, but the river was as it gave Puchkov a straight and the triple; meanwhile, Hays' aces sent Rule to the rail.
