Aces Over Kings for $600K

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Timofey Kuznetsov, Wiktor Malinowski

Kuznetsov raised to $4,500 in the cutoff and Malinowski made it $15,000 on his left. Action folded back to Kuznetsov and he made it $49,700. Malinowski jammed for $296,960 and Kuznetsov called with a covering stack.

Kuznetsov: A?A?
Malinowski: K?K?

They agreed to run it twice. Malinowski didn't hit anything on the first board. On the second, he added an out when Q?J?A? flopped (one ten was dead from the first runout) but wheel cards on the turn and river missed him, sending a pot of $598,620 to Kuznetsov.

Ace-High River Call for $200K

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Timofey Kuznetsov, Markus Leikkonen

Leikkonen raised to $5,000 on the button and Kuznetsov called from the big blind. On the 8?J?2? flop, Leikkonen continued for $6,850, half the pot. Kuznetsov made it $21,934 and Leikkonen called. Kuznetsov bet small with $18,997 on the 6? turn and they went to a K? river with Leikkonen having $53,868 to play.

He shoved that in when Kuznetsov checked to him, and the Russian legend didn't even need to use his time bank before clicking call with A?3?. That was a winner as Leikkonen had Q?10? for a whiffed straight draw plus overcard on the flop.

Massive Value for Kuznetsov on River Check-Raise

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Timofey Kuznetsov, Wiktor Malinowski

First to act in a five-handed game, Kuznetsov raised to $4,500 and was called by Malinowski on the button and "crazytrader" in the big blind. Action checked to Malinowski on 9?3?2? and he bet $6,600. Only Kuznetsov continued to the 5?. Malinowski bet bigger this time with $22,140 and Kuznetsov called to see the 7? river. He checked a final time. Malinowski bet $48,136 and Kuznetsov shoved for $170,537 more.

Malinowski tanked and called but his K?9? proved inferior to A?A?.

Kuznetsov Wins Three-Way All-In Pot

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Timofey Kuznetsov, Wiktor Malinowski, Linus Loeliger

The good times continued for Kuznetsov in a three-way all in that began with Malinowski raising to $4,000 in the cutoff, Loeliger making it $18,000 in the big blind and Kuznetsov cold four-betting to $50,000 in the third blind. Malinowski shoved for $199,600, Loeliger shoved for $129,906 and Kuznetsov called.

Kuznetsov: Q?Q?
Loeliger: A?K?
Malinowski: J?J?

The 5?7?9? flop didn't help anyone and the sweat was over on the turn when Kuznetsov hit the Q? for an unbeatable hand. Ship $548,806 to the Russian.

Loeliger Heros Against Chidwick

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Linus Loeliger, Stephen Chidwick

Cash legends weren't the only ones playing big as nosebleed tournaments regs participated in the action. Chidwick was among them and he tangled with Loeliger in a three-bet pot, starting with the Swiss player making it $7,500 from the big blind and Chidwick reraising to $19,390 from the third blind.

Loeliger checked the 5?6?J? flop and Chidwick continued small for $10,000. Loeliger made it $22,686 and Chidwick peeled, bringing the 7?. Both players checked that card and the river was the 4?. Loeliger checked and Chidwick shoved for $46,883, a little over half the pot.

Loeliger tanked and called, and his A?J? for just a single pair was good on the treacherous board, as Chidwick held K?5? that he'd opted to bluff with.

Malinowski's Huge Jam Pays Off

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Wiktor Malinowski, Sam Greenwood

Action folded to the small blind, where Malinowski made it $6,800. Loeliger called in the big blind and Greenwood repopped up to $29,200 in the third blind. Malinowski shoved covering both opponents. Loeliger folded but Greenwood called off for $222,428 more.

Greenwood: 10?10?
Malinowski: K?K?

Greenwood offered to run three times but Malinowski declined. A board of 6?4?8?8?5? brought nothing for the Canadian tournament crusher, so Malinowski dragged $511,056.

Koon Heros and Holds

Site: GGPoker
Stakes: $500/$1,000/$2,000/$200
Players: Jason Koon, Michael Zhang

Two tournament pros very familiar with each others' games clashed starting with a raise to $5,000 from Zhang on the button. Koon made it $25,700 in the third blind and Zhang called. On the 2?6?Q?, Koon continued with a sizable bet of $33,050 and Zhang just shoved. Koon called off his remaining $125,896.

Koon: A?K?
Zhang: A?3?

Zhang was drawing with good equity and they agreed to run twice. Not a single spade or three emerged, so Koon's heroic call shipped him a pot of $371,992.
