Puchkov Caught Lying To Selbst
Poker players often mislead their opponents and the media about the strength of their hands but Konstantin Puchkov has just been caught completely red handed.
We joined the action on a board that read 
and Puchkov had checked from early position to the Team PokerStars Pro, who was seated on the button. She sat figuring out how much to bet into the 11,000 pot before settling on 6,200. Puchkov pondered his options for close to a minute before sending his cards back to the dealer.
The table then entered a discussion about how the hand played out and Puchkov was adamant he had folded a set of threes but Selbst refused to believe him.
“I had a three in my hand,” she claimed before another player said he folded 
that would have made a flush.
“That would have been the winning hand,” informed Selbst before asking Puchkov if he had a set of threes. The Russian WSOP bracelet winner then went a shade of scarlet before revealing he actually held 
!
“That makes more sense,” said Selbst, “Seeing how I had a set of threes!”
We won't be asking Puchkov about his hand strength any time soon!
