Kuznetsov All Smiles Again; Ivey Back In

Level 5 : 250/500, 50 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Timofey Kuznetsov has just been able to eliminate an opponent and boost his stack. After a three-bet preflop, Kuznetsov and his opponent headed to a flop of {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the big blind bet 5,600 into 12,000. Kuznetsov called and then also called the shove worth 23,000 by the big blind on the {3-Hearts} turn.

The big blind showed {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Kuznetsov had that beat with {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}, fading the outs of his opponent. Kuznetsov was all smiling, while Winfred Yu joked "king seven off? Now you can't say it was a flush draw." Within half an hour, Kuznetsov went from a short stack to almost double stack and is back on track.

The empty chair was soon filled and no other than Phil Ivey sat down on his second bullet.
