Nikita Kuznetsov

Nikita Kuznetsov made it 3,500 to play from the button and was looked up by Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind.

On the 2♣J♦6♠ flop Kisacikoglu check-called Kuznetsov's 2,000 continuation bet and the dealer rolled off the J♥ as the turn.

Kisacikoglu checked it over to Kuznetsov once more, who fired a second bullet of 4,500, and Kisacikoglu check-called once again.

The 4♣ came on the river, and Kisacikoglu knuckled the table for a third time. Kuznetsov thought for a while and announced that he was all in, having Kisacikoglu covered.

Kisacikoglu went into the tank for a short time before he released his cards into the muck, sending the pot to Kuznetsov with no showdown.
