With King Kuzmin KOs Keller

A series of raises between Shawn Keller and Alexander Kuzmin had gotten much of their respective stacks in the middle prior to a {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. The little Keller had left subsquently went in, thus creating about a quarter million-chip pot. Kuzmin had {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Keller {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, meaning Keller was the favorite to win the hand and survive.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Keller was still good. But the river brought the {K-Diamonds}, pairing Kuzmin and knocking Keller out about a dozen spots shy of the money.

Kuzmin now has 340,000.
