Kuzmin Makes Big Call to Bust Juanda

Level 11 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Reigning EPT Barcelona champion John Juanda has been eliminated after Alexander Kuzmin picked off his big river bluff.

The board read {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades} and more than 50,000 chips lay in the middle of the table. Juanda was in the big blind and moved all in for 42,100. Kuzmin was in the hijack and went in the tank. He took several minutes before sliding his stack, worth a little more, forward to indicate a call.

Juanda nodded and pointed at Kuzmin while saying, "You got it." He opened {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} knowing full well that his hand wasn't good. Kuzmin tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a flush and raked in the big pot.

"Sick call!" said table mate Jordan Westmorland.
