Double and then Bust for Kulev
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In the first level Alex Kulev's starting stack had been reduced to just 2,500, which he moved all for from under the gun. Stephen Chidwick called in the big blind.
Alex Kulev: 2♠2♥
Stephen Chidwick: K♦J♦
The board ran out 5♦4♠7♦3♣8♣; Chidwick flopped a flush draw to go with his overcards, but they didn't materialize and Kulev found a small double.
The very next hand Steve O'Dwyer raised to from the cutoff and Kulev defended, off his short stack, in the big blind.
The dealer spread the 8♥K♥9♣ flop and Kulev moved all in for his last 3,500. O'Dwyer snap-called.
Alex Kulev: 10♦7♦
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣10♥
The K♠ turn and A♣ river didn't improve on Kulev's straight draw, O'Dwyer's trip kings sent him to the rail.
