Kuznetsov Goes Small With Big Hand; Blaison Doubles With Better Kicker
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov bet 105,000 on a 5♥J♣J♠9♠ turn from the small blind. Rodrigo Selouan called on the button, seeing his opponent size down to 35,000 on the 10♠ river.
Selouan quickly tossed in a call, but he mucked his cards once Kuznetsov showed 5♠5♣ for a full house.
Over at another table, Hugo Blaison checked the 8♣K♣6♦J♠J♥ completed board from the big blind to Laurent Polito in the hijack. Polito put his opponent all-in for 135,000, sending him into the tank.
Blaison spent all of his time banks before he slammed in calling chips. Polito tabled K♠9♠ for kings and jacks, but Blaison had him outkicked with his K♥10♠ and secured a double-up.
