Blake Cahail, a 23-year-old from Kansas City, got things started by completing the bring-in. He was called by Konstantin Puchkov before chip leader Al Barbieri raised. Cahail and Puchkov both called.
Barbarier kept the lead on fourth street and bet it. Cahail called before Puchkov raised. Each other player called to fifth street, where Cahail grabbed the lead. He checked to Puchkov, then called after Puchkov bet and Barbieri called.
Sixth street gave open eights to Barbieri, restoring him to the lead. He bet and was called only by Puchkov. Barbieri bet seventh street dark. His action drew a long pause from Puchkov, about forty seconds, before Puchkov folded.
