Pots for Glantz and Kuznetsov

Level 4 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

Limit Hold'em

Heads-up to the {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} turn, David Benyamine bet and was called by Matt Glantz. Benyamine then checked the {j-Clubs} on the river and Glantz bet. That sent Benyamine into a brief tank and he then called to muck when shown {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

One hand later, Scott Seiver raised and Timofey Kuznetsov three-bet a fraction of a second later. Seiver called and predicted a flop with three eights. Instead, it came {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Seiver check-called a bet. After the {7-Hearts} turn, Seiver checked and Kuznetsov bet to win the pot.
