Ibanez Cracks Aces to Down Kuznetsov

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov
Nikita Kuznetsov

Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 9,000 from the hijack before Johann Ibanez made it 32,000 from the button. Kuznetsov put in the four-bet to 72,000, leaving around 200,000. He then snap-called when his opponent jammed for around 300,000.

Nikita Kuznetsov: A?A?
Johann Ibanez: Q?Q?

Kuznetsov was on course to scoop in the massive pot, but he was immediately drawing to two immediate outs after Ibanez made a full house on the Q?8?8? flop. The 9? turn changed nothing and the 8? river confirmed the bad beat and Kuznetsov's departure.
