Kuziv Hits the River to Double Up
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Ivan Kuziv was short-stacked with around 10,000 chips to his name but earned himself a double-up thanks to the river card.
Kuziv had gotten his stack in from the small blind, and been put at risk by Hadi Khordbin in the big blind.
Ivan Kuziv: A♥3♥ 
Hadi Khordbin: A♦7♠
The flop came A♣8♠Q♣, which paired both players, and the 9♣ river meant the two looked destined to chop up the pot. However, the 3♦ on the river gave Kuziv two pair, and earned him a much-needed double-up to around 20,000.
