Kuznetcov Makes the Right Call

Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetcov opened to 4,000 first to act and was called by Viacheslav Buldygin from directly behind and Morten Klein in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Klein checked to Kuznetcov, who continued for 3,000 on the A?7?A? flop. Buldygin called and Klein folded.
Both players checked on the 5? turn and then Kuznetcov bet 14,000 on the 4? river.
Buldygin responded with a raise to 36,000, sending Kuznetcov deep into the tank. After using up several time extensions, Kuznetcov tossed in a call and Buldygin immediately sent his hand into the muck.
Kuznetcov claimed the pot without showing his hand.
