Kuznetcov Nearing Three Million
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetcov opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Fabio Di Blasi, who defended his big blind. The flop came 
and Di Blasi checked over to Kuznetcov, who continuation-bet 50,000. Di Blasi called.
The turn was 
and both players checked, putting a river 
on board. Di Blasi fired out 130,000 and Kuznetcov quickly dropped in a chip to signify a call.
Di Blasi picked up his hand relatively tentatively, doing so in a manner that he could see the entirety of both of his cards before he finished turning them over to table 
for a bluff. Kuznetcov turned over 
right away after seeing the bluff, showing his trips to earn him the pot and bring him to just shy of 3 million in chips as a result.
