Bad News Turns to Good News for Kuznetcov and Lijo as Manolakis Busts
Lander Lijo open-raised to 60,000 from the button and Nikita Kuznetcov moved all in from the small blind. Michail Manolakis went into the tank in the big blind.
"Super power hand," said Kuznetcov. "Super power, but not aces."
"I need to think," said Manolakis before calling all in for 285,000.
"Now I need to think," said Lijo as the action came back around to him. He then slammed in the call for 510,000.
"It's not good news for us," said Kuznetcov as the cards were turned. "I tried..."
Michail Manolakis: A♣J♠ 
Lander Lijo: A♥10♥
Nikita Kuznetcov: A♠10♦
Indeed, it wasn't good news for Kuznetcov and Lijo, who were both dominated and sharing outs.
The flop came K♦3♦9♦ and Kuznetcov picked up a flush draw. He started calling for his one-time as the turn came the Q♣. The "one-time" continued and the river came the J♥ to give Kuznetcov and Lijo the straight.
Manolakis was eliminated, while Kuznetcov and Lijo chopped his stack.
