Kuznetcov Makes the Right Call
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetcov opened to 4,000 first to act and was called by Viacheslav Buldygin from directly behind and Morten Klein in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Klein checked to Kuznetcov, who continued for 3,000 on the A♠7♣A♥ flop. Buldygin called and Klein folded.
Both players checked on the 5♣ turn and then Kuznetcov bet 14,000 on the 4♦ river.
Buldygin responded with a raise to 36,000, sending Kuznetcov deep into the tank. After using up several time extensions, Kuznetcov tossed in a call and Buldygin immediately sent his hand into the muck.
Kuznetcov claimed the pot without showing his hand.
