Big Pot Goes to Kulev
Level 23
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Alex Kulev opened to 350,000 with A♦J♦, and Mikita Badziakouski called from the big blind with K♣9♥.
On the K♥8♥8♦ flop, Badziakouski check-raised to 480,000 with his pair of kings after Kulev continued for 160,000. Kulev called.
On the 2♣ turn, Badziakouski slowed down and checked. Kulev did the same.
Kulev paired up on the A♣ river to seal the checkmark. Badziakouski checked again but then faced a bet of 1,000,000. Badziakouski called with the worse hand, which swung the chip lead into Kulev's favor.
