Kuznetsov Gets Futile Double-Up Through Bounty Hunters
Nivel 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joao Tomas limped in from early position and Elias Gutierrez called in the small blind. Nikita Kuznetsov checked his big blind and a flop of 8♠10♣6♥ was dealt.
Gutierrez checked before Kuznetsov tossed in his last 40,000. Tomas called but Gutierrez decided to fold, creating a showdown.
Nikita Kuznetsov: J♠10♦ 
Joao Tomas: K♥8♥
Kuznetsov's top pair held on the 2♦5♦ runout and doubled held. Afterwards, he asked if Gutierrez would have won the hand had he called, but the latter admitted he also would have lost.
One hand later, Kuznetsov's chips flew in again, but this time it resulted in his elimination from the tournament.
