The pot had swelled to around 210,000 on the 7♣10♣4♥9♠Kx board when PokerNews began covering the action. Alex Kulev, with over 200,000 chips left, decided to go all in, which was promptly called by Jack Corrigan. Kulev revealed 9♥8♣, while Corrigan showed A♠A♣. Unfortunately for Kulev, Corrigan doubled up, leaving Kulev with only 60,000 remaining.
A few hands later, Kulev found himself all in again, this time against Michael Gathy, who had opened from under the gun.
Alex Kulev: 2♣2♠
Michael Gathy: A♥K♠
The board revealed 8♥9♠K♦5♦6♦, giving Gathy a pair of kings and marking the end of Kulev's run in the tournament.
