Triple Up for Kim
Level 19
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
In the first hand back from the break, Alex Kulev used one time bank extension and then moved all-in from under the gun. He earned the blinds and antes as all opponents folded.
The second hand brought the shove of Gab Yong Kim for 55,000. Alexandros Theologis called in the small blind and Kulev asked for his stack size. "I have 20k more than you," Theologis instantly replied. Kulev then jammed and Theologis folded.
Gab Yong Kim: 
Alex Kulev: 
"What is that? King nine?" Theologis said when he leaped out of his chair on the other side of the dealer.
The board ran out 
and Kim more than tripled up.

Alex Kulev:
Zhong Chen:
"Better than last time, I can feel the spade," Kulev grinned. Instead, he nailed the
