Kuznetsov Cripples Bardon
Level 23
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Anton Kuznetsov raised to 80,000 with 
and Manuel Bardon peeled with 
in the big blind. The flop was 
and Bardon check-called a bet of 125,000.
The 
on the turn promised fireworks, as Bardon improved to two pair and Kuznetsov to a straight. Bardon checked, Kuznetsov bet 250,000 and Bardon called.
On the 
river, Bardon checked a third time. Kuznetsov sized out a value bet of 400,000 and Bardon snap-called. Kuznetsov showed the nuts, but Bardon quickly showed as well thinking his hand was good. After a short moment, the Spaniard realised he had lost and shipped 400k over to the Russian.
