Kulev Takes Over the Lead
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Pablo Brito Silva raised to 40,000 out of the small blind. Rodrigo Seiji pushed all-in from the big blind and his fellow countryman quickly folded.
Brito Silva then raised to 30,000 on the button and Alex Kulev inquired "you are playing around 600k now?" to which his opponent nodded, Kulev then called. The 
flop was checked by Kulev and he then called a bet of 20,000. Both checked the 
on the turn and saw the 
river for free.
Kulev now bet very small for just 24,000 and Brito Silva raised it up to 90,000. After using one time bank, Kulev double-checked his stack and made it 230,000 to go. That sent Brito Silva into the tank and he used two time banks before conceding the pot.
