Kuzmin Straightens Out Smith

Alexander Kuzmin moved all in for 470,000 from middle position, and after some deliberation, Benjamin Smith made the call from the big blind.

Kuzmin: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Smith: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop gave Kuzmin outs to a chop along with his seven, and when the {5-Clubs} landed on the turn he found eight more to a straight to stay alive.

Fortunately for the Russian, the {9-Clubs} landed on the river to ensure him the double up and see him climb to over a million in chips as Smith slips to just over 1,800,000 in chips.
