Mikita Badziakouski raised to 200,000 from under the gun with 3♦2♣. Alex Kulev flat called in the big blind with K♠K♣.
The flop came 3♦8♥2♣ to give Badziakouski two pair. Kulev checked and Badziakouski bet 100,000. Kulev continued to slow play with a call.
The turn was the 8♦, which counterfeited Badziakouski. Kulev checked and Badziakouski bet 175,000. Kulev called.
The river fell the 4♦, Kulev checked again, and Badziakouski checked back.
Kulev held up with pocket kings for two pair.
