Kuether Folds and Gets Really Short

Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

From middle position, Joseph Kuether raised to 65,000. Frank Rusnak was in the small blind and made the call, as did Brian Lemke in the big blind. The three players took the flop of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and action checked to Kuether. He fired 85,000 and only Rusnak called.

The turn was the {A-Spades} and both players checked to see the {10-Clubs} fall on the river. After Rusnak checked, Kuether bet 155,000. Rusnak folded and gave up the pot. His stack slipped to 140,000 while Kuether moved to 860,000.
