Oya Spikes the Turn to Bust Kulev; Stand-Up Trick Works For Duta

Masashi Oya and Alex Kulev were heads-up on a flop of 4♥2♦5♠ with around 13,000 in the pot when Kulev got his last 20,000 in the middle from the small blind, and Oya put him at risk from middle position.

Alex Kulev: A♦A♣ All in
Masashi Oya: 7♣6♣

Kulev was ahead with his aces, while Oya was chasing a straight draw. The 8♥ turn gave Oya his straight and Kulev was already drawing dead before the 9♠ river, and on his way to the exit.

At the same time at another table, Florian Duta was all in for 15,200 from the big blind and up against Dmitrii Prusov in the hijack.

Florian Duta: 2♠2♦ All in
Dmitrii Prusov: A♣3♦

Prusov hit a pair on the J♣3♣7♠ flop to take the lead, while the turn came the 9♦. Duta was down to just two outs and already standing up from his seat, but the 2♣ spiked on the river to give him a set and a miracle double up.

"Stand-up works every time," Duta said, sitting back down.
