Kuznetsov Busts Les in Set-Over-Set Fashion

Level 6 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Timofey Kuznetsov had raised from early position, Pratyush Buddiga called in late position, and then Jason Les called from the big blind to see the flop come down {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Les checked, Kuznetsov bet 25,000, Buddiga called, and Les called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}, and Les checked again. Kuznetsov fired 85,000, Buddiga folded, but Les made the call to see the river.

The river was the {8-Spades}, and Les checked. Kuznetsov bet 225,000, and Les check-raised all in for about 450,000. Kuznetsov called with the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a set of sixes. Les also had a set, but he had the one worse than Kuznetsov's with the {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

With that, Les was eliminated as Kuznetsov soared to 1.6 million in chips.
