Jorstad Doubles Through Kuznetsov
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Start-of-day chip leader Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 12,000 and Kazuhiko Yotsushika three-bet to 30,000. Espen Jorstad re-entered at the start of the day and four-bet all in for 183,000.
It folded back to Kuznetsov who five-bet enough to put Yotsushika all-in, and the Japanese player folded.
Espen Jorstad: A♥K♣ 
Nikita Kuznetsov: Q♣Q♠
There was a king in the window of a K♦8♠8♥ flop and Kuznetsov was already pushing his cards face down towards the muck as the 5♠ rolled off on the turn. It would have been interesting if a queen came on the river as to whether or not Kuznetsov's hand was still live, but it didn't matter as the K♠ improved Jorstad to a full house and he doubled up.
