Kuznetsov Advances, Puustinen Falls
Level 47
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 0 ante
A short-stacked Henri Puustinen moved all in for 252,000 on the button, and Nikita Kuznetsov called, looking to end the tie.
Henri Puustinen: K♦7♦
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♣6♠
Puustinen found no immediate help on the J♣2♦9♣ flop, but did pick up a flush draw on the 4♦ turn.
It wasn't to be for Puustinen, though, as the 2♠ river bricked out, ensuring Kuznetsov was the first player through to the semifinals.
