Khatskevich Doubles, Kuznetcov Toasted

HillKerby

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the last hand of the previous level, Nikita Kuznetcov put his last 2,000 in from middle position and action folded around to Yiannis Liperis who was on the button and raised to 22,000. Maryna Khatskevich was in the big blind and took a few moments to think about her decision. She looked away from the table over to the tournament clock, which displayed 77 players remaining at the time, and then announced she was all in. Liperis called and immediately turned over his hand.

"Oh my God!" said Khatskevich as she tabled her hand.

"Oh my God!" replied Kuznetcov, just as emphatically after seeing what he was up against.

Nikita Kuznetcov:
Maryna Khatskevich:
Yiannis Liperis:

The flop came to give Khatskevich a set of tens and Kuznetcov a gutshot straight draw in addition to top pair.

"Please, please, please no ace!" said Khatskevich. "If he (Kuznetcov) wins, ok, but..." Khatskevich watched the runout come and breathed a sigh of relief as she earned the double, calming down from the excitement as the pot was sent her way. She offered an apology to Liperis, who seemed unshaken from his aces being cracked all along as he counted his new stack and prepared to get back to business.

Yurasov Wakes Up With a Monster

HillKerby

Niveau 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetcov was on the button and saw action folded to him. He announced he was all in and Dmitry Yurasov immediately slammed down a stack of chips in front of him from the small blind thereafter. Kuznetkov let out a noise that signified he knew he was not in good shape.

Nikita Kuznetcov:
Dmitry Yurasov:

The board ran out , giving Kuznetcov a pair of queens on the turn, though no help on the river left his hand no good against Yurasov's kings. Kuznetcov stood up and shook Yurasov's hand to wish him a good game, but stacks looked too close for it to be certain.

Kuznetcov's stack was counted out and looked to be 293,000 but no amount was announced by the dealer. He then moved on to Yurasov's stack, which he broke down to be 291,000 much faster. He took 291,000 from Kuznetcov and he was indeed left with just 2,000 behind.
