Kuznetsov Doubles Through Sammartino
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 18,000 from the cutoff and Dario Sammartino three-bet to 48,000 from the button. Kuznetsov moved all in for 204,000 and Sammartino snap-called with a covering stack.
Nikita Kuznetsov: A?Q?
Dario Sammartino: A?K?
Kuznetsov was in rough shape with the weaker ace but the Q?3?3? flop gave him exactly what he needed, leaving Sammartino drawing to three outs. The 6?9? turn and river were safe for Kuznetsov who received a full double while making a small dent in Sammartino's stack.
