Kulev Runs Out a Flush

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Watson opened to 4,000 in the hijack and was called by Corel Theuma in the cutoff. Alex Kulev three-bet ripped all in for 51,500 on the button. Watson re-shoved all in for slightly more and Theuma got out of the way.

Alex Kulev: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Mike Watson: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"I feel like hearts are coming," Kulev pleaded as the most likely option was going to be a chop. However, the board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Kulev did make a flush to double up and leave Watson on fumes.
