Kulev Flops a Boat to Stay Afloat
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tom Orpaz raised to 2,500 in the cutoff and Alex Kulev ripped all in for his last 13,500 on the button. The blinds folded and Orpaz quickly called to put Kulev at risk.
Alex Kulev: 
Tom Orpaz: 
The flop fell 
with the nine in the window to give Kulev a full house. The 
on the turn left Orpaz drawing dead to the 
on the river and he passed over a double-up.
