Plesuv's Straight Gets Paid

Nikita Kuznetsov opened 40,000 in the cutoff and both Dominik Nitsche and Pavel Plesuv came along from the blinds.

The dealer spread a flop of Q♥J♥2♣ and all three players checked to the 9♥ turn.

Nitsche check-folded to a bet of 45,000 from Plesuv but Kuznetsov stuck around with a call.

The J♠ completed the board on the river and Plesuv continued for 165,000. Kuznetsov went into the tank, using two time banks before making the call.

Plesuv rolled 10♦8♥ for a straight, and Kuznetsov mucked his hand.
