Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Atanas Malinov limped in from the small blind and Alex Kulev checked in the big blind. Malinov then made a minimum bet of 6,000 chips on the A♦2♣A♠ flop and Kulev called.
Malinov checked on the subsequent 8♥ turn, after which Kulev bet 15,000. Malinov made the call, leading to the A♣ river rolling off.
Malinov checked before Kulev tossed in 25,000 chips. Malinov then raised to 77,000, virtually being all in. Kulev used one time bank extension but decided on a fold in the end, surrendering the pot to his fellow countryman.
