Petrov Momentarily Cracks Aces
We've already seen two outers hit on the river in pots today (i.e. Mads Amot's elimination), and it just happened again.
The hand began when Mikhail Petrov opened for 64,000 from the cutoff and Sergey Kuzminskiy flatted from the button. Both blinds folded and the flop fell 
, which is when action really picked up. It started when Petrov led out for 78,000, Kuzminskiy raised to 170,000, and Petrov three-bet to 335,000. Kuzminskiy responded by moving all in for 1.105 million and Petrov snap-called.
Showdown
Kuzminskiy: 
Petrov: 
Kuzminskiy thought is aces were good, but he soon discovered they'd been cracked by Petrov's set of jacks. The 
turn meant Kuzminskiy needed an ace on the river to stay alive, and wouldn't you know it, the 
slammed down.
The spectators erupted in disbelief and Kuzminskiy let a big smile cross his face.
