Lonis Flops Quads, Kuznetsov Still Not Drawing Dead
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 11,000 in middle position before Jesse Lonis moved all in for 78,000 on the button. Kuznetsov used up nearly his entire time clock before calling.
Jesse Lonis: 8♦8♠
Nikita Kuznetsov: K♣Q♣
The two players were racing, but it didn't stay a coin flip for long as the flop brought J♣8♣8♥, giving Lonis quads. The turn was the 9♣ and Kuznetsov picked up a straight flush draw, but he missed the 3♠ river and Lonis doubled up.
Several players are still voicing their disapproval of the late registration ruling and continue to have discussions with tournament officials. "The people aren't happy. They're getting pitchforks," Sam Grafton said.
