Puchkov: (X) (X) / 
Barbieri: (X) (X) / 
"I'm going to play this hand blind," said Al Barbieri. He took two pink chips off of his stack and put one over each of his eyes. When he caught the bring-in, he fumbled for his chips to get the correct amount into the pot. "Is that four?" he asked. Konstantin Puchkov just called.
Barbieri, without having looked at his cards, bet fourth street after Puchkov checked. At fifth street, he asked TD Bob Smith what Puchkov's board was. Upon hearing the answer, he said, "Jesus, I better look now," and he took the chips off his eyes to take a peek. He bet, then checked his own hole cards for the first time in the hand. Puchkov mulled things over for a bit before folding.
