Kuznetsov Eliminated by Lonis
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov flat-called a raise to 2,200 while in the cutoff and Jesse Lonis then three-bet to 10,800 in the small blind. The initial raiser folded and Kuznetsov called, which led them to the Q♠9♠5♣ flop.
Lonis continued for 15,200 and earned a reluctant call from Kuznetsov, who then faced the shove by Lonis on the J♣ turn.
"How much is it?" Kuznetsov asked and the shove of Lonis was for 42,200. Half a minute later, the Russian called and instantly asked "do you have kings?"
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠Q♥
Jesse Lonis: K♦K♥
Lonis indeed held the overpair and the K♣ river improved him to a set. Both stacks were counted and Kuznetsov was covered by a single big blind.
