Kuznetsov Takes Huge Pot

Richard Hayes

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Luca Marki raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and was called by Nikita Kuznetsov on the button and Ihar Soika in the small blind.

On the A♦3♠J♠ flop Marki continued with a bet of 105,000 and was called by both of his opponents.

The turn brought the 9♦ and Marki continued to fire, putting out a bet of 275,000. Again both opponents called.

The 7♦ rolled off on the river and Marki fired out a bet of 625,000. After some thought, Kuznetsov raised to 1,250,000, leaving only 225,000 behind. Soika folded and Mark called.

Kuznetsov showed K♦Q♦ for the king-high flush and Marki hit the table in frustration as Kuznetsov raked in the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Enrico Camosci opened to 60,000 and Ihar Soika moved all in from the big blind with a covering stack. Camosci called to put himself at risk.

Enrico Camosci: A♥K♣
Ihar Soika: A♣Q♣

Camosci looked good for the double-up but the Q♥4♣J♣ was the worst possible flop, Soika flopping top pair and the nut flush draw.

The 10♣ rolled off on the turn to complete the flush and leave Camosci drawing dead, with the 4♠ completing the runout.
