Kuzmin Felted

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After his amazing comeback from only one ante, Alexander Kuzmin opened under the gun to 11,000. Bryden Baxter made the call and Andrew Dean raised it to 48,000 from the small blind. Kuzmin four-bet all-in for 147,000. Baxter folded and after having asked for the chip count Dean called.

Dean: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Kuzmin: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Kuzmin was in good shape to double up once more, and flopped the set of kings, but the {2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board gave Dean a flush through the backdoor and put an end to Kuzmin's comeback.
