Kudzmanas Scoops Huge in Double Bust-Out Bonanza

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Marius Kudzmanas
Marius Kudzmanas

In a three-way clash between Marius Kudzmanas, Gianluca Speranza, and Yaman Nakdali, the pot had grown to a humongous 37,000 before a turn was dealt.

After that did happen, the board read K3Q8 and Kudzmanas bet another 14,000 from under the gun into the ever-growing pot. Both his opponents matched the bet, inflating the pot to well over 250 big blinds.

The action did not stop at that point, however, as when the 8 river completed the board, Speranza, who was in the hijack, announced his all-in. Button Nakdali asked for a count and made the call for 26,300 after he received a confirmation.

Kudzmanas then rejammed his own stack in the middle, totaling 52,300. This covered Nakdali by a fair margin, but he felt he was committed as he put in the rest of his stack with a big sigh.

Kudzmanas then tabled KK for the best full house possible, and the second nuts. Neither player had the one combination of quads that could beat him, as Speranza showed J10 for a missed combo draw and Nakdali could not make anything higher than trips with his J8.

A huge pot for Kudzmanas, who is now sitting on a gigantic stack of over 500 big blinds.
