Carbo Snaps Off Kulev to Cross a Million
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
More than 200,000 was already in the pot as Gerard Carbo and Alex Kulev went to the turn on a board of A♣8♦J♠7♠.
Kulev was in the small blind and moved all in for 276,000. Carbo snap-called and showed A♠K♠ for top pair. Kulev could only show 9♦7♦ for a pair of sevens and a straight draw.
The river 5♣ was no help to Kulev and Carbo scooped the massive pot to send Kulev to the rail.
"Are you a millionaire yet," a tablemate asked Carbo, who stacked up around 1,100,000 after the hand.
"More," another tablemate added.
Carl Shaw is also sitting with around 1,100,000 after recently busting Pete Chen by winning a race with pocket tens.
