Kulev Spikes the River
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Alex Kulev opened to 325,000 from under the gun before Jon Vallinas moved all in to his immediate left. Action folded back around to Kulev, who made the call and was at risk.
Alex Kulev: A♣9♥ 
Jon Vallinas: 10♠10♦
Kulev found no help on the 4♦7♦7♠ flop or J♥ turn, but the A♥ river gave him top pair to stay alive and double through Vallinas.
