Kulev's Turn to Spin It Up
Level 19
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Alex Kulev moved all-in for the last 60,000 and Niklas Astedt on the button was very tempted but folded. Zhong Chen then pushed from the small blind to isolate for the bounty and Sam Grafton asked for a count on that. The shove by Chen was for 515,000 and that proved to be too much for Grafton.
Alex Kulev: 
Zhong Chen: 
"Better than last time, I can feel the spade," Kulev grinned. Instead, he nailed the 
flop to make trips and locked it up on the 
turn to make the 
river a formality.
