Kuznetsov Pulls Clear
Level 45
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Holding J♠10♦, Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 40,000 on the button before calling a three-bet to 160,000 by Henri Puustinen in the big blind, who had 10♠7♠.
The action checked through on both the 7♦8♣Q♥ flop and the 3♥ turn, and the 9♠ completed the board.
Puustinen picked his betting lead back up, putting 110,000 into the middle, which was met by a chunky raise to 595,000 from Kuznetsov, who had rivered the nuts. Puustinen gave it some thought but ultimately chose to correctly fold.
