Danchev Takes it Away From Kuznetsov

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dimitar Danchev raised to 2,000 under the gun with Orpen Kisacikoglu calling in hijack, and Jason Koon calling from the small blind. Nikita Kuznetsov squeezed it up to 11,000 from the big blind. Danchev and Koon called, but Kisacikoglu folded.

After Koon checked the 494 flop, Kuznetsov fired for 18,000 and only Danchev called.

Both checked the 9 turn to see the J land on the river. Kuznetsov checked for the last time and then folded versus the 52,000 bet of Danchev.
