Sunday's Day 1 saw the 49 players in the field plop down in the plush ARIA Resort & Casino seats to do battle with their $300,000 buy-in on the line. Needless to say, he does pretty well at this venue. And then just a few days ago on Friday, he won the $50,000 Super High Roller that ARIA held for $748,446. Last year, Kuznetsov took fourth in this event for $2.15 million.
Kuznetsov was the only player to bag up a seven-figure stack, with his next closest competitor being the man he doubled through, Berkey, with 745,500. From there, Kuznetsov climbed and climbed, tormenting Phil Hellmuth with three-bets and winning small pot after small pot along the way to a finishing stack over 1.1 million. His run to the top started early, when in Level 2 he doubled through Matt Berkey with a straight versus two pair.
The man of the day was Timofey Kuznetsov, otherwise known as 'Trueteller' in the high-stakes online poker world. Welcome back to PokerNews' continued coverage of the 2016 Super High Roller Bowl. 08:48 UTC-8 Timofey 'Trueteller' Kuznetsov Leads the Pack Into Day 2
