Kuzmanovic Picks Up Aces and Kings Back-To-Back With Negative Results

Kai Cocklin

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Boris Kuzmanovic picked up the two best hands in hold'em in consecutive pots, with the opposite effect of what he would have wanted.

First, Kuzmanovic raised from early position to 20,000 and Georgios Skarparis shoved from the next seat for 155,000. When it got back to Kuzmanovic, he called.

Georgios Skarparis: J?J? All in
Boris Kuzmanovic: K?K?

Kuzmanovic was in a great spot to score an elimination but Skarparis found an escape path as he turned a set (and rivered a boat) on the 9?2?4?J?4? runout.

In the very next hand, Kuzmanovic shoved his last 30,000 into the pot from under the gun and got a call from Adrien Quetelart in the big blind.

Boris Kuzmanovic: A?A? All in
Adrien Quetelart: Q?7?

"I can't believe it, aces and kings in two hands," said Kuzmanovic.

This time, Kuzmanovic did manage to hold as the 10?7?K?8?K? runout gave him the nut flush.

In the next hand, Kuzmanovic got in his A?J? against AxJx of another player at the table, but they chopped the pot, which left Kuzmanovic with just under 100,000 in his stack.
