Kuznetsov Pairs his Nine

Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
On a flop of 7?5?J? with around 50,000 chips in the middle, Abdullah Akbarpoor bet 22,000, and Nikita Kuznetsov called.
A 9? hit the turn and Akbarpoor bet 45,000, which Kuznetsov called after a short time thinking, then both players checked the 6? river.
Akbarpoor showed A?10?, but Kuznetsov had the winner with 10?9? as he paired his nine.
