Kulev Coolers Mateos and Doubles Up
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Following several hands that were taken down with preflop three-bets and four-bets, Alex Kulev made a raise and Adrian Mateos three-bet. Kulev four-bet to 28,000 and Mateos moved all in. Kulev called and Mateos had him covered.
Alex Kulev: A♦A♠
Adrian Mateos: K♦K♠
It was the ultimate poker cooler. Mateos had pocket kings and Kulev had pocket aces. The board ran out 2♥9♦A♥K♣9♣. Kulev made a set with his aces on the flop, meaning Mateos' set of kings on the turn was not enough.
Kulev doubled up to bring himself back up to above starting stack. Mateos took a huge hit but still remains above the starting stack.
