Kashani Puts a Tiny Dent in Tulepbergenov's Stack

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With just over 20,000 chips in the middle on a flop of J109, both Arian Kashani and Azamat Tulepbergenov checked from the blinds to see the 6 drop on the turn. Kashani checked, Tulepbergenov bet 7,700, and Kashani called.

A 3 landed on the river and both players knuckled the table, then Kashani announced that he had a nine. Tulepbergenov gave the nod of approval and mucked when he saw the 97 of Kashani.

Despite that small setback, Tulepbergenov is still cruising with well over 300,000 in his stack.
