Belomestnoi Bests Kulanurk
Level 22
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Artur Kulanurk raised the cutoff to 100,000. Maksim Belomestnoi was in the small blind and elected to flat-call. The A♣4♣3♥ flop saw Kulanurk continue for another 100,000, with Belomestnoi check-calling.
Kulanurk upped the ante to 250,000 on the 6♣ turn, which Belomestnoi again check-called. Belomestnoi checked for a third time when the K♣ river completed the board.
Kulanurk thought for a while and assembled his chips, but ultimately decided to check back. Belomestnoi tabled A♥10♥ for top pair, and Kulanurk quickly sent his K♥Q♥ into the muck.
