Kuznetsov on Late-Night Surge
Level 25
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 500,000 from middle position. Maksim Shornikau called in the big blind, after which Kuznetsov bet 350,000 on the Q♠9♦10♦ flop. Shornikau check-called, after which the 7♦ turn checked through.
This prompted Shornikau to fire 1,900,000 into the pot on the 6♥ river, but Kuznetsov quickly called with 9♠8♠ for a straight. Shornikau had been bluffing with K♥4♠, and he saw the pot being shipped to his opponent.
